About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Dr Peter Hogarth will surprise us with his unique research into a man who lived and worked in York in the early part of the nineteenth century. Philip Francis Sidney was the editor of a rather obscure newspaper, the Yorkshire Observer. But he didn’t seem to exist outside his two to three years in York: not even a record of having been born or died. Nothing! Deeper research discovers an intriguing story of an Irish adventurer which must be told… and will do so at Peter’s lecture.

Non-Members are welcome to join us on this event. Tickets for Non-Members go on sale two weeks before each event.
