Talk: Forgotten Neighbours

Paul Wright, Blackheath Society member, and guests will give a talk on some of the famous (and not so famous) residents of the churchyard of the old St Margaret's Church, Lee. Hear about a Restoration actress, the lutenist at the Court of Queen Anne of Denmark, the parachutist who fell to Earth, the claimant in an infamous eighteenth century aristocratic dispute and of course Edmund Halley and the local dignitaries for whom Dacre Park and Fludyer Street were named. The talk will be richly illustrated with a musical interlude.

Time & Place: 7 for 7.30pm at St Margaret’s Church, London SE13 5DL. This is at the junction of Lee Terrace and Brandram Road, Blackheath.

Non resident street parking is available in the area after 7pm.
