The Bate & Kirkland Families of Ashby: their lives, ancestry & descendants.

Heritage Talk given by Anthony Yates, a descendant of the Bate & Kirkland families. It covers Dr Thomas Kirkland, his life in medicine and music and his role in the trial and hanging of Earl Ferrers - this talk will be a tour across countries and continents, tracing the long ancestry of the Bates and later Kirklands from 1605 to the present day. There's even a role here for Bess of Hardwick!
