The Cure of Relevance: S.R. Gardiner and changing approaches to the 17th century 1902-2002 by Professor Conrad Russell (The Earl Russell) of King's College, London on Friday 29th November at 8pm in the Ashler Hall, Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, sponsored by the Sevenoaks Historical Society. Admission free. Parking available in Sevenoaks School and also at public car parks within the town centre a short distance away. Further details from Professor David Killingray, 72 Bradbourne Road, Sevenoaks TN13 3QA tel: 01732 453008 email: afra@compuserve.com. This is the first of what is planned as an annual lecture sponsored by the Society, bringing a distinguished historian to the town to talk on a subject of their choice. The lecture series is named after the great historian of 17th century England, S.R. Gardiner (1829-1902) who lived, and is buried in, Sevenoaks. It is thus appropriate that the first lecture should be on 17th century England, although future lectures will deal with other periods and places.
