Join us at Mirfield Library for some talks featuring local history themes to celebrate Heritage Open Days along with a local history display including books and photographs. All events are free, including refreshments, with no need to book.

Local history display throughout the week in the main library.

Talks as follows:
Wednesday 11th September, 19.00 - 20.30 - An Overdue Revision of Richard III.
Much has been said about Richard III since the remarkable discovery of his remains under a Leicester car park - so who really was the man who put the 'king' into parking?

Thursday 12th September, 13.00 - 14.30 - Witchcraft in 16th and 17th century Yorkshire.
Witchcraft was everywhere in early modern Yorkshire – in books, in pamphlets and on the village street. This talk examines how it affected the lives of ordinary people in Tudor and Stuart times.

Friday 13th September, 10.30 - 12.00 - Growing Up in Mirfield in the 1940s & 1950s.
