Mary Lyons

MARY LYONS has been associated with Jaywick Sands for more than forty years. In 1963 she acquired two holiday homes, and retired there in 1984 to open a guest house. She was inspired by Hilda Grieve's classic account of the disastrous flood to write about Jaywick, and her research - much of it based on personal interviews and oral history - has occupied her for many years.
