PEMBROKE and Monkton Local History Society meets next on Saturday March 7 with a real treat for Tudor lovers. They will be welcoming Melita Thomas, whose talk is about the life and times of Tudor Women.

In her talk, Melita delves into her acclaimed book ‘1000 Tudor People’ to reveal fascinating insights into the lives of Tudor women. What were the social, legal, political, and economic problems that they had to deal with? Were their lives really as constrained as we are led to believe?

Join Melita to discover more about the joys and perils of 16th century life - and how intrepid women could forge their own path, in trade, in literature, and even in warfare.

Melita is passionate about all things Tudor, and is the founder of the Tudor Times as well as being a member of the acclaimed Tudor Players. As well as researching and writing books, she is also currently working on a PhD at University College London.

Doors open at 10am for Coffee followed by the Talk at 11am. Open also for the event will be Pembroke Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall. A lift is available for disabled access.

Pembroke Museum is now open again following winter closure. Opening hours are 10am – 12.30pm Mondays to Fridays, extended to 3pm from Easter. Entry is free.
