The 29th Bromsgrove Lecture is being held from 7.30pm at Routh Hall at Bromsgrove School, in Worcester Road, on Tuesday, March 31.

This year's lecture is entitled His Glorious Majesty – King Richard III, a talk being given by local historian Ralph Richardson and illustrated by Julian Hunt.

The illustrated talk includes details of the two prominent Worcestershire men who fought at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, one being Humphrey Stafford of Grafton Manor.
