Organiser:


Stuart has a passion for History gaining a degree in the subject as well as a teaching qualification.  After a varied “historical” career including a very successful time at Peterborough Museum (where he gained an MA in Museum Studies) he eventually moved to the Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon.  His talk is about William Hobbes who was the surgeon and physician to Edward lV and Richard lll, essentially following them around in case of accidents or injuries. 

The talk promises to be witty and informative.  I would see it if I were you!
