Gwendolyn Young is a folk singer, particularly famous for the Guardian Team Song, and many in the great courtyard, from three-year-olds to those in their sixties or seventies, could hum a few lines.
"What a coincidence, my grandpa was a guard too, and so was my grandfather," James Carter wasn't surprised at all that Jane grew up in the team area courtyard.
The two spent a while in James Carter's study on the second floor, where Jane also looked at his early manuscripts. They continued chatting until Gwendolyn Young called them downstairs for a meal.
