I will be in authentic costume and will tell of the life in a Victorian gaol. Discover what the term "hard labour" really meant. Learn the difference between a prison and a gaol and between a convict and a prisoner. Hear all the grisly details of how both capital and corporal punishment was carried out.
The presentation will be illustrated with items from the Victorian penal system which the audience is encouraged to handle.
I will need to be able to park at, or very close to, your venue entrance. This is a real MUST and if that cannot be arranged then I'm afraid that I cannot accept a booking.
The presentation lasts for about 60 minutes, and is suitable for all ages, including schools.

I am based in Thetford, Norfolk, but happy to travel. My work history is 29 years a police officer, followed by 4 years as a manager for Autoglass, then by 10 years as a prison officer and ending with 3 years as an Inclusion Manager in a secondary school. I am now a Town Crier and have been a speaker for over 20 years.
My website (www.medievalworld.org.uk) gives details of the talks and presentations I can offer. All my presentations last for about 60 minutes and cost £50 plus a fee for travel. However, I do not charge the standard 45p per mile, but only for what petrol I use for the journey.
