Music at King Charles

Wonderful music and a very interesting talk for all history buffs this Saturday afternoon!

It’s a big year at King Charles the Martyr this year, as it’s the 400th anniversary of the ascension of King Charles I. We have lots planned but our first event is on the 25th January at 2.30pm. Join us for an illustrated lecture about John Wilson exploring his life and music.
