Following on from the success of 2025’s talk the Ten Georges of Lichfield, local historian and author Jono Oates tells the stories behind ten Edwards associated with Lichfield, from monarchs to sheriffs and from shopkeepers to bishops. Some of them are well known but others have since disappeared from the archives. The Ten Edwards covers the period from the mid-16th century to the 21st century, so also provides a fascinating backdrop to the history of Lichfield over the centuries.

This illustrated talk lasts an hour with the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the talk.
