Talk: Lord Falkland – His Life, Times, Death & Memorial
Advertisement
Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland, was the most prominent Royalist killed at the first Battle of Newbury 1643. What brought him as a non-combatant academic philosopher to be fighting? Is there any truth that his death was suicide by musket? And is there a connection between Newbury and the Falkland Islands? Find out in this talk by Dave Stubbs.
Dave Stubbs, back in the day, the ‘local bobby’ for the Wash Common beat, dug up a musket ball in his back garden on the historic battlefield. This direct link to the events of the English Civil War sparked a passion for local history and the stories and characters that have shaped the area and left their echoes in the road names, pub signs and local landmarks of the present day.
Bookings close 4pm the day before the talk.
