The Regency Way Of Death : a lively historical talk

On Halloween evening, join historian Maggie Barton for a lively, but respectful, look at the rituals surrounding death, grief and funerals in Regency England. Her sparkling, illustrated narrative will include the roles of clergymen, mutes, mourners and the newly emerging profession of Undertakers. The talk will feature notable people of the Georgian and Regency years, concluding with Robert Houlton who built Parade House and lived here until his death in 1738.
A must for all history lovers!
Ushers Bar will be open from 5.30pm ~ the talk is at 6.30pm and lasts approximately 90 minutes.
