Katherine of Aragon: Beyond the Stereotypes

What was life really like for Henry VIII’s six wives? Caroline Willcocks, who has researched and written four successful novels on the Tudor Queens talks about their lives and loves. Was Katherine of Aragon a liar? Was Anne Boleyn a schemer? Did Anne of Cleves smell? Over four talks she discusses these women and the legacy they have left. PLEASE NOTE: this talk will be held at the Local History Centre. Talk one Unveiling the True Character of Henry the Eighth’s First Tudor Queen Explore the extraordinary life of Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII. Too often dismissed as dowdy and overly pious, Katherine’s true legacy is far richer and more nuanced. Was she merely a devout and plain figure, or did her intelligence, political acumen, and beauty shape the course of English history? Discover how Katherine navigated the treacherous world of Tudor politics, championed scholarship for women, and inspired devotion and respect across Europe. This session will challenge prevailing myths and invite you to see Katherine not as a passive victim, but as a clever, resilient, and charismatic queen whose influence is celebrated to this day. Accompanying novel ‘Of Aragon’ by Caroline Willcocks. Caroline has lived in Bromyard for the last six years, with her husband the poet John Pare, a dog and a cat. She has worked in the theatre, freelance journalism and for charities before writing six novels (so far).

Last of the Great Lake’s Steamers

A talk by Philip Hart The Edwardian Era saw the production of thousands of elegant passenger steams ships, the Titanic being one of the best-known. These vessels sailed worldwide and were the main mode of transportation across The Canadian Great Lakes up until the creation of the railways and the Trans-Canadian Highway. Today, the only one still floating, The Keewatin, sits in the restored Victorian boatyard, located at The Great Lakes Museum, Kingston, Ontario. This is the story of her travels, and how she came to be saved, restored, and to become the main attraction at the museum.
