I have written 18 talks about people and subjects that I have a passion for.

​

Each talk features a multimedia projection and full period costume.....including armour for the Henry V and Richard III talks!

​

I like to be controversial at times, to stimulate historical thought and debate!

​

As a retired teacher, speaking is my profession and I do so with the enthusiasm of an avid historian.

​

In addition, I hold a Certificate of Higher Education in British Archaeology, which has helped me to probe deeper into my chosen subjects.

The English Civil War in Bewdley, Kidderminster,
