Monday
Poplars Grand House at 7:30pm for 90 minutes
Speaker - Mike Williams, Poplars is a grand house built in 1778 by a wealthy widow, in a prime place at the top of a hill in Wellingborough. Mike’s talk will take us on a exploration of the people who called the 50 acre estate home. We will understand where they came from, what they did, where they went and what legacy they left behind. Like the Channel 4 series "A house through time”, we will experience how the house adapted to social changes during its first 125 years.

This family-friendly tour will take you on a journey through old Northampton town's dark and mysterious history. Expect an evening filled with history, folklore and tales of ghostly goings on.

We are not setting a price for the event, but we would be very grateful for any donations that will be put towards next year's events. We will be meeting for a 5 pm start at Doddridge car park (St Mary's St, Northampton, NN1 2RN) We hope to see you there.
