William Kilburn - Botanical Illustrator & Eminent Calico Printer of his Time
Thursday 22 May 19:30 – door opens 19:10 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event William Kilburn produced exquisitely detailed floral designs in the latter part of the 18th century and went on to use his engravings to produce fine printed fabrics at his mill in Wallington. His life is not widely documented nor are there many examples of his work still in existence other than his botanical drawings. But he is notable for achieving one of the first copyright acts to protect the original designs of cotton and calico printers from plagiarism by less accomplished printers at a time when it was vital to keep abreast of fashion changes. Alison Cousins delves into his life and times. Seats £7 (Members £6) To book, please contact Susan Hoskin at susan.hoskin@gmail.com or by ‘phone on 07721 852378.

The Mistresses of Henry VIII
Thursday 27 November 19:30 at CryerArts, Carshalton A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Henry VIII is famous as the King who married six times; his matrimonial adventures have been a source of enduring fascination for centuries. Yet relatively little is known about the King`s extra-marital adventures. He prided himself on being a virtuous prince, and when it came to sex, he was discreet, even prudish, so the evidence for his affairs is sparse. Yet it is clear that he took a number of mistresses, enjoyed fleeting sexual adventures, and was as promiscuous as most Renaissance rulers. Alison Weir has crafted a fascinating narrative from the fragmentary sources, which throws light on Henry VIII`s private life, revealing striking insights into the man and his psyche. All Seats £7 To book, please contact Susan Hoskin at susan.hoskin@gmail.com or by ‘phone on 07721 852378. Alternative print out and post our Booking Form from HERE. |
