Another work event: The Craven Street Bones

[annwfyn]

Museums and Galleries at Night- The Craven Street Bones
Sunday 16 May, 8pm and 9pm
Visit Benjamin Franklin House at night and experience the shadows of the beautiful Georgian building as Franklin did before you. Discover the story of Franklin’s London years and the building's rich history, before enjoying a glass of wine in the basement and hearing the tale of the Craven Street bones, many of which still remain.
£10/£8 Friends and Concessions, including a glass of wine

This is going to be a lecture, given by me! It will be a good lecture, and if you come, then I'll like you more as a person. If you come to the 9 pm lecture, I'll like you even more and we can go to the pub afterwards.

I'm going to be talking about bones, graverobbers, crime and punishment in Georgian London and waving a bone saw and femur about.

Anyone?

Again, it's the weekend we're supposed to be moving house, if all goes well.

I'd be quite interested to go, though, so will see how it all goes.

Potentially so, though I'd love you more if you could stretch to Regency as well ;)

(Am having a bit of a snit at how many 'Regency' books actually spend most of their time talking about Georgian stuff instead. I know it's a comparatively narrow period, and backdrop is important, but...)

It does go forward into Regency and a little bit of Victorian history - basically, it isn't until the 19th century that grave robbing falls out of fashion, and it's grave robbers and anatomy schools that I'll be talking about.

I'd come along, except I don't fancy the trip home... :)
