Closing Event: Murder and the Monarchy

Due to unforeseen circumstances this event is now cancelled. Refunds will be issued shortly.

“Uneasy lies the head that wears the Crown”

Paul Doherty, historian and critically acclaimed author of The Sorrowful Mysteries of Brother Athelstan, the Hugh Corbett mysteries and countless other novels, explores how murder has often lurked in the shadows around the throne. Be it King John, poisoned at Newark Castle in 1216 or Edward II, brutally murdered at Berkeley in September 1327, the list of victims is lengthy and so is the cohort of killers who have crouched in the darkness behind the throne.

Paul Doherty is an award-winning British author, educator, lecturer and historian. He is also the Headmaster off Trinity Catholic High School in London. His talk will be followed by a guided tour of the caves and then a chance to socialise with a glass of sparkling wine/ soft drink in the final chamber.
