Tuesday 26th November William Humfrey & the development of lead smelting in Derbyshire... or Heavy Metal, Metallica and Mary Queen of Scots! 7.45pm, Dore Old School
A talk by Carl Clayton. In 1570 William Humfrey travelled from London to Dore to show the people of Derbyshire how to smelt lead - the Elizabethan equivalent of selling ice to an Eskimo. How well did this go down? What's the connection with Metallica and the Queen of Scots? And what was Humfrey's shoe size? A serious historical talk but with a light touch.
