APRIL 2026 MEETING
​
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, 15 April 2026 in Holy Cross Church Hall, Butts Road, SN4 0NN at 7.30pm. The subject is ‘The Wives of Henry VIII’, presented by Chris Scott. Chris is one of our regular speakers and is sure to give us an entertaining description of these six women from history. There is, of course, a local connection with Henry believed to have courted his third wife Jane Seymour at Littlecote House. Chris is bound to regale us with some interesting facts about each one of the wives and will likely tell us that many of the portrayals that we see on film and television differ somewhat from the known historical facts. Come along and find out more.​
