Sedgley Local History Society
The next meeting of the society takes place on March 9 at 7.30pm in St Andrew's Church, Bilston Street, Sedgley. The speaker is Mary Bodfish, a favourite with local history groups and chairman of Smethwick Local History Society.
Mary's illustrated talk explores the Wallis Simpson and Prince of Wales love affair and subsequent consequences. Locally Himley Hall features in this spicy tale which leads to the constitutional crist in 1936.
The British Monarchy never fails to surprise. Several kings have been forced off the throne, only Edward VIII left voluntarily making it one of the most remarkable Royal events of the 20th century.
As usual, visitors are invited to come along, cost £1.
