The mayoralty of Sandwich, one of the first in England, dating to the early 13th century, has seen it all: intrigue, bribery, bravery, royal visits, and the town’s rise as one of the original Cinque Ports. Join us on 2 June at the Guildhall (Delf Room) for a fascinating talk by town guide Terry Palmer, sharing remarkable stories from eight centuries of mayors. This is part of the 800th anniversary celebrations of the mayoralty.

The lecture is free but a suggested donation of £5 by attendees with any profit going to the Mayor’s Fund.

Hosted by Sandwich History Society, The Arts Society Sandwich, and The Arts Society Dover Deal and Sandwich.
