Lesley Smith – Nell Gwynne
Nell Gwynne was the mistress of Charles II and for many people they believe that was all she was known for – other than for selling oranges! The real Nell Gwynne is a victory for English womanhood showing great courage and against all the odds became a star of the London stage and beloved of the King of England.
This talk, given by local Historian Lesley Smith, will be followed by the opportunity to meet pretty, witty little Nell in a fantastic costume and have a chance to both laugh and cry with her.
She can be bawdy at times, so be prepared! (18+)
