SUMMARY:The Bookshop\, The Draper\, The Candlestick Maker
DESCRIPTION:The Bookshop\, The Draper\, The Candlestick Maker: A history of the High Street \nTuesday 11th March 7pm \nA talk by Dr Annie Gray \nWhat makes a high street? And are they really dying – or merely changing\, as they have always done? What were they like in the past? How did we shop in the days before ready-to-wear\, self-selection\, pre-packaged food or even affordable glazing? And is it really all about the retail – or do people\, buildings and a sense of place play a role in it all as well? \nHistorian Annie Gray joins us to talk about one of Britain’s best-loved spaces; one we purport to love\, but which we often neglect. Based on the research for her latest book\, she’ll bring to life the high streets of our parents\, grandparents and many great-ancestors\, putting the modern shopping experience into historic context. Expect humour\, nostalgia and Annie’s trademark forthrightness as we peep into the windows of exploding grocery shops\, toyshops aimed squarely at adults\, and – of course – eating houses and drinking venues from the medieval period to the only-just-past. \nSOLD OUT \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Cambridgeshire Witchcraft Trials
DESCRIPTION:The Cambridgeshire Witchcraft Trials \nTHIS TALK IS FULLY BOOKED \nA talk by Dr Tabitha Stanmore \nIn the mid-1640s\, Britain was wracked by brutal and bloody wars that left thousands dead. In Cambridgeshire\, a second battle was raging as communities tried to rout out a supposed spiritual evil: witches. \nJoin Tabitha Stanmore as she explores how the witch hunt that began in Essex – driven by the so-called Witchfinder General\, Matthew Hopkins – spread into Cambridgeshire. We will find out more about the women and men accused of consorting with the Devil\, and about the neighbours\, friends and even family members who accused them. We will discover why witches were treated with such fear in the seventeenth century\, and what happened to those who were suspected of witchcraft. \n31st October at 7pm at Ely Museum  \nTickets £8.50 \n
