Our Great Elizabethan in Exmouth – yet more of my illustrated talks










On six occasions so far this year I’ve been given the chance to air my views about our local hero, and on Monday 1 October it will be the turn of members of the Exmouth Historical and Archaeological Society to hear what I have to say.

And, of course, anyone else who wants to come along.  Visitors are welcome at all meetings – entrance £2.00.The talk, illustrated with loads of slides, will start at 7.30 pm in the Glenorchy Church Hall on Exeter Road, Exmouth.

Sorry to disappoint, but I won’t be in costume. My Raleigh outfit is quite heavy and I can get overheated. But I thought the photo of me by Exmouth photographer Christine Chittock was so arresting that I put it on my Facebook page. 

If you can’t make the talk on 1 October I’ll be speaking again at the same venue on Wednesday 17 October at 2.30 pm, but to members of the Raleigh Centre, National Trust.
