A Pillar of Society? Admiral Lord Nelson and his loves and losses - Presented by Cathy Shelbourne
2026-03-20 19:00 - 22:00
A Pillar of Society? Admiral Lord Nelson and his loves and losses
Not all Nelson’s exploits ended in success. He suffered considerable disasters, and died at the Battle of Trafalgar off the coast of Spain. He was renowned for famously turning a blind eye to his commander’s instructions – but did the Establishment do the same to his numerous dalliances? We take a quick romp through Nelson’s loves and losses.
More details soon.
