In the middle of the 18^th century, the time of the Georgian era, Lichfield was at the height of its popularity, and was one of the most well-known places in England. This was partly due to four of the most influential people in the country, who were born, or lived, in Lichfield, and this illustrated talk by local Lichfield historian Jono Oates provides profiles of the Famous Four – Erasmus Darwin, Anna Seward, Samuel Johnson and David Garrick.

The talk lasts an hour and a half, and tea, coffee or water will be provided.
