The speaker was Simon Seligman who has spent almost thirty years working in the arts, heritage, tourism and communication.

After lunch, a focus on the life and times of Deborah Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, the youngest and last surviving of the six Mitford sisters, who were prominent members of English society in the 1930s and 1940s.
