Famed local historian Dr. David Neave will talk us through his fifty years of research looking at the architecture of buildings in the East Riding.

About the talk: An illustrated lecture exploring aspects of the history of towns and villages of the East Riding, focussing on the lives of some of the lesser known ‘celebrities’ who once lived here. New facts about some of the regions ‘legends’, including the story of the Stricklands of Boynton and the turkey, will be revealed.

About the speaker:   Dr Neave has  been researching writing and talking on the history of East Yorkshire for over 50 years, and has written numerous books and articles on the subject, many with his wife Susan, including two on Bridlington for the Lords Feoffees. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in Regional and Local History at the University of Hull. Dr Neave has spoken to the Augustinians many times; the first time was over 40 years ago in the Bayle when the projector bulb exploded.

This talk is for members and their invited guests only.
