Events

Luke Mouland, local historian and genealogist, will review the life of the Rev. Charles Herbert Mayo who spent all his clerical life in Dorset. When not tending to his congregations, he dedicated his time to looking into the county's rich history, leaving behind an extensive collection of books, pedigrees and manuscripts. At the time, he was one of the county's most eminent historians, so how is it that his name has now been largely forgotten? With the aid of his correspondence and private research papers, this talk will examine Canon Mayo's contribution to Dorset's heritage, and seek to understand the man behind the text.

Includes refreshment break.
