Join our Museum Manager Sally as she explores who Sir John Moore was, why he's important, and why he built an enormous free school in the middle of a field. And just why did Sir Christopher Wren get involved?

This talk has got everything - we're talking success, disaster, fires, family feuds, wealth, unscrupulous landlords, unexpected kindness; the works.

The talk is at the Sir John Moore Foundation. A free exhibition about the village of Appleby Magna is running at the same time - come early and make an afternoon of it!

Tickets for the talk are £5 on the door.
