SUMMARY:Love\, Loss and Shakespeare:  An Evening in Conversation with Sir Gregory Doran
DESCRIPTION:After the death of his husband\, Sir Antony Sher\, Sir Gregory Doran stepped down from his role as Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company. In the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio\, and inspired by the surprising history of the company’s own copy\, he set out to see how many of these important volumes he could find. Sir Gregory’s book\, Walking Shadow: Love\, Loss and Shakespeare (Bloomsbury)\, relives the months leading up to Sher’s death\, told via the two men’s raw and loving diaries\, and maps Doran’s quest to track down more than 200 First Folios worldwide – over 90 percent of all the surviving copies. The book is a poignant and panoramic story of love\, loss and the ways in which Shakespeare can become a source of healing. \nSir Gregory Doran has been described as “one of the great Shakespearians of his generation” (The Sunday Times). \nGreg’s book My Shakespeare: A Director’s Journey Through the First Folio was published in 2024 and his latest book Walking Shadow is published by Bloomsbury this April. \nDr Chris Laoutaris is a Shakespeare scholar\, biographer and Associate Professor at The Shakespeare Institute (University of Birmingham). \nHe is the author of Shakespeare’s Book: The Intertwined Lives Behind the First Folio (William Collins) which tells the story of the creation of the 1623 First Folio\, and which made several book of the year lists\, including BBC History Magazine\, BBC Radio 4 Front Row and Australian Book Review\, and was a Financial Times Best Summer Book. \nThere will be an exhibition of Shakespeare-related documents from the Stationers’ archives. \nTickets:\n£35 In-person (lecture\, wine\, soft drinks & sandwiches) \nDrinks reception in the Court Room before going into the Hall. On stage Chris interviewing Sir Gregory\, followed by a Q&A. Afterwards\, drinks and food back in the Court Room. \nTimings: \n6.15 pm – reception starts \n6.45 pm – Talk starts\, ending with Q&A \n8.00 pm – refreshments and book signing \n9.00 pm – Evening ends

SUMMARY:Amputation: A Dramatic Act\, 18th Century Britain's Most Famous Case – Dawn Kemp
DESCRIPTION:18th CENTURY BRITAIN’S MOST FAMOUSCASE – SPEAKER: DAWN KEMP \nContemporary representations of surgical operations in Britain in the eighteenth century are rare. The indelicacy of presenting moments of the most extreme human agonies\, even by the most celebrated satirists\, was largely deemed beyond acceptable taste. Protection of the surgeons’ professional space from the public eye was important to contain fear and anxiety surrounding their practice. Guarding against patient exploitation was as important to hospital governors\, mindful of their hospital’s reputation and keen to gain donations from wealthy benefactors\, as to the patients themselves. \nA recently recovered oil painting\, stolen from the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1983\, ‘provides a unique visual record of British surgical practice in the mid-1700s. \nDawn is Director of Museums and Special Collections at the College and was Project Director and co-curator of the redesigned Hunterian Museum which opened there in May 2023.

SUMMARY:Whitechapel Lecture – IPM Alan Hughes ‘English bells; the sound of castings’
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Founders’ online lecture series ‘Whitechapel Lectures: Promoting Knowledge in Materials and Their Impact on Our Lives’ \nFollowing his popular “gallop” through a millennium of bell history during the Covid-19 Lockdowns\, Alan Hughes returns to the Whitechapel series to shine a spotlight on the most transformative era in British bell founding. Alan will concentrate on the changes that took place\, predominantly in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries due in large part to the influences\, and in one case intervention\, of four individuals wholly unconnected with the bell founding industry: a printer\, an inventor\, a Peer of the Realm\, and a clergyman. Each one of them has left a lasting mark upon the bells that we hear and those still being produced. \nAbout the Speaker:\nAlan was educated at Christ’s Hospital\, where he was a Skinners’ Company Presentee.\nOn leaving school in 1966\, Alan immediately joined the family bell founding business. He worked his way up through the company\, working in the foundry\, bell frame fabrication shop\, blacksmiths shop\, with the site working team and in the drawing office\, whilst studying Foundry Technology at what is now the University of the South Bank (LSBU). He became a shareholder and was appointed a director in 1972\, becoming the 4th generation of the Hughes family to own the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.\nAlan joined the Founders Company in 2000. He has served on the Industry Committee and since 2019 has been Honorary Secretary of the Historical Group. Alan is the fourth owner of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry business to serve as Master of the Founders’ Company.\nAlan has been happily married to Kathryn for 39 years\, and they have worked together at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry for most of that time. They have two children\, Jennifer who is a pianist and Lizzie who is an HR Manager\, and three lovely grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Putting London on the Map
DESCRIPTION:History In The Hall – Livery Committee Event \nMapping London: Creative Ways To Explore History \nFor over 20 years\, Matt Brown has been exploring and writing about London. But he’s also been mapping it. In this talk\, Matt will describe how maps can provide fresh insights into the city’s history and culture: from a retrospective map of Anglo-Saxon London\, to a complete map of every location mentioned in Dickens’s novels\, to his new best-selling book about the Boroughs of London. He’ll also reveal what he’s learned about the capital by spending hundreds of hours colouring in the John Rocque map of 1746. \nBiography \nMatt Brown is editor-at-large of Londonist.com\, and the main contributor to Londonist: Time Machine\, a newsletter about the history of London. In his 20 years as a ‘professional London explorer’\, Matt has waded along the buried River Fleet (twice)\, spent the night in a ‘haunted’ plague pit\, crawled through the little-known tunnel beneath the deck of London Bridge\, and walked along the tracks beneath Leicester Square at 2am. Matt is also author of 13 books\, including London Night and Day (2015)\, Everything You Know About London Is Wrong (2016)\, the bestselling/award-winning Atlas of Imagined Places (2021) and its sequel Atlas of Imagined Cities (2023). His latest book The Boroughs of London (2025) explores the history and peculiarities of London’s 32 boroughs. \nMatt particularly enjoys Q&A\, and invites you to come armed with any “I’ve always wondered…” questions about London (map-related or otherwise). \nMatt will be signing copies of his fascinating new book after the lecture. \nThe evening is open to members and their guests. Tickets cost £25 and include wine\, soft drinks and nibbles. Space is limited to 50 people so early booking is essential. \nThe event will also be streamed live on YouTube around the world! The code for the one-hour stream costs £10 and this is open to anyone. \nTickets:\n£25 includes the lecture\, wine\, soft drinks and nibbles\n£10 online / virtual only \nSchedule:\n6.30 PM Drinks reception\n7.00 PM Lecture begins in 3rd Floor Meeting Rooms\n7.50 PM Q&A\n8.00 PM Drinks& Nibbles\n8.30 PM Event Ends \nDress code: Smart Casual
