Our next meeting is at 7.30pm Thursday 18th June Steve Ragnall will be our speaker and his talk is :- " A World Upside Down- The Life & Times of Dr John Webster " |
|
|
Dr John Webster (1610-1682) of Clitheroe, was a polymath and had been described as " An almost forgotten figure of national importance ". He was in Lancashire at the time of the English Civil War and, in addition to looking at his life and work, we'll look at the County of Lancashire during that period, a time of friction and fracture in both politics and religion . ( Polymath :- is an individual whose knowledge spans a significant number of subjects, and who draws on complex bodies of knowledge to solve problems ) |
