Public WALKS & TALKS (see Talk topics)

11am on Tuesday 16 December at Magdalen College Auditorium 

‘What a Liberty! Memorable Moments along Oxford’s Ancient Boundaries’. An Oxford Centre for the National Trust talk by local historian Mark Davies:

Talk on 16 December

Dramatic and amusing incidents from five centuries of the ceremonial mayoral circuits of the city’s boundaries (or franchise, or liberty), which are mainly defined by its waterways. Although serious in intent, numerous pub-stops and the chance for the populace to air local grievances often resulted in ‘high jinks’ and ‘irresponsible jollity’. Non-members £10.

Most of my WALKS are for pre-booked groups (starting at £60 inclusive for up to 20/24 people). However, if you as an individual, or as part of a small group, would like to arrange a walk, do please still feel free to get in touch at oxfordtowpathpress@gmail.com. Or, for £30 for up to five people (lasting 90 minutes or so), you can suit yourself as to start time time and exact route.

Not sure? Please have a look at my ‘Customer Comments’ page.

TALKS elsewhere

I am happy to travel! I have given talks in numerous places in England and Wales, and on two short tours of the Republic of Ireland, and as far away as Assam in north-east India – partly as a result of Indian ancestry.
