Two new talks

 I now have two new talks all ready to go (well, one brand new one and one I presented to the Yorkshire Heraldry Society last year).

The first talk, the one presented to the Yorkshire Heraldry Society, is called A Miscellany of Mistakes .... or, the musings (and confessions) of a heraldry addict.  This talk is a meandering one, wandering through some of the things that I’ve seen or done, or simply had happen to me. I always enjoy my heraldic journeys, and I hope that in sharing some of them with you, you will too.

My second, recently prepared, talk is called "All is not as it seems!" It is a study of the mysterious case of the arms of a 19th century Staffordshire gentleman whose pedigree, commemorated in his arms of many quarters, speaks of a descent of great antiquity and nobility. It is an interesting example of someone who, though undoubtedly well respected in his own right, laid claims to a great and venerable bloodline to which he was not entitled.

I am available to present talks to groups and societies (within reasonable distance) and via webinar; do let me know if you would like to hear more.
