Chris Green, a toastmaster and entertainer who is known as 'The History Chap', will be explaining the tortuous background to the Battle of Hastings, that monumental turning point in the history of our country.
Elizabeth Morris, a performance storyteller, will be returning to Weaverham to give us the story of Primitive Methodism in this area, told through the words of Sarah Smith, a primitive Methodist at Englesea Brook. An evening's entertainment that is not to be missed.
Angela Brabin is returning to look at the trial for murder of Dr Tomanzie, a doctor in Liverpool accused of murder after he performed an abortion on a girl who later died. Angela will be looking at the judgemental attitudes Victorians had to unmarried mothers and to illegitimate children.
Dr Graham Dodd, who is a Trustee of the Nantwich Museum and Vice Chair of the Nantwich Historical Society, will be entertaining us with a series of stories based upon the history and legends of the Welsh Marches.
It is with great regret and sadness that we have to announce a change to our July talk due to the death of our speaker, Professor Ian Morison. A colleague of Professor Morison, Steve Warbis of Macclesfield Astronomical Society, has kindly stepped in to give us an alternative talk.
