The next St. Chad's Youth Lecture Series will feature Anne Boleyn as she awaits her execution!
At 6.30pm on Thursday 18 March, Lesley Smith, eminent historian and Curator of Tutbury Castle, will become Anne Bolyen for the evening.
Described as a mix of celebrity, theatricality and academia, Lesley will tell the entralling tale of Anne, who for centuries has been portrayed as a cunning and manipulative woman responsible for causing the bloody aspects of the Reformation.
In truth, Anne was a highly educated, profoundly religious person who cared deeply about her moral standing. In this portrayal of Anne she will appear in her execution gown during the last 45 minutes of her life in the Tower.
Given the nature of this event, it is not suitable for very small children and parents should take this into account.
For more information, please contact 01543 306170.

Pupils aged between 6 and 16 from Lichfield Cathedral School were delighted to take part in a masterclass by world-famous cellist Julian Lloyd Webber on Wednesday 3rd March.
Sixty Lichfield Cathedral School students were joined by 30 pupils and teachers from local schools to hear Julian share some insider secrets on improving performance.
The masterclass focused around three Lichfield Cathedral School string players: Charlotte Howdle, aged 9 who plays Grade 5 violin; Ciara Bryan, aged 11 who plays Grade 4 cello; and Kathryn McIntosh, aged 15, who plays Grade 5 cello and is currently studying GCSE Music. All three girls play in the School’s Concert Orchestra.
“Julian is a passionate champion of classical music education and string playing in particular. His informal and friendly approach created a relaxed atmosphere, and the pupils really responded to his warm enthusiasm”, said Nick Parrans-Smith, Director of Music at Lichfield Cathedral School. “We were honoured that Julian took time out of his incredibly busy schedule to join us at the School. The pupils learned specific techniques to refine their performance, and gained invaluable advice from a world-renowned performer on developing music as a career.”
“Hopefully the pupils will put what they have learned to good use and remember that, even today, Mr Lloyd Webber practices for 4 hours every day!”

On Tuesday 26th January, we celebrate the day on which our School was re-founded. Although there had been a school to provide for the education of choristers for many centuries, in 1935 the Dean of the Cathedral and Chapter realised that the reorganisation of the school was essential.
