From Rags to Riches – Heritage Open Days Event

Richard Auckland and Brian McBurnie have researched and written two books about the people and history of Barnwood.

This talk is the fascinating tale of a pauper boy, born in Barnwood in 1630, who left Gloucestershire and made his way to London, entered and excelled in the legal profession, eventually becoming Lord Chief Justice of England.

The talk will take place at St Nicholas Church in Westgate Street and will last about 50 minutes.

Pre-booking is required. Tickets are available from the Tourist Information Centre in Southgate Street.

This event is one of many making up Gloucester History Festival and Heritage Open Days.
