As described in his academic bio, Professor Richard Gaunt is an expert in 'late eighteenth and early nineteenth century British history, with a particular specialism in the political and electoral history of the age'...so what better way to celebrate the legendary Zig Zag Tours Xmas Party than a Q&A with the Prof on the diaries of the 4th Duke of Newcastle.
The 4th Duke's diary entries between 1822-1850 will leave you open mouthed with astonishment. Eye watering expenditure on speculative development, estate aggrandisement and political intrigue, that took him to the brink of bankruptcy and back again. Join us at Little Brickhouse for one of their exquisite buffet menus, fine wine and a deep dive into the Duke's bewildering life experiences.
We have booked the basement room of Little Brickhouse for the event and we will have music, merriment and maybe even a little dancing after the talk.
