Talks
I regularly give talks on family and local history topics. Over the past two years, I have most frequently talked on 'Our Wicked Ancestors' using some of the more striking cases from the Church Courts.
I also speak about Wills and the information to be extracted from them. I am also frequently asked to speak in the West Midlands area about Old Swinford Hospital, the school in Stourbridge where I was Headmaster, in relation to its early history and development from 1670-1900. Remarkably extensive documentation survives for the school from the earliest years, with a complete record of all its pupils from 1670 onwards.
