This illustrated talk, presented by Cindy Sughrue, Director of the Charles Dickens Museum, and Lucinda Hawksley, art historian, biographer, award-winning travel writer, and great-great-great granddaughter of Charles Dickens, explores Dickens’s lifelong fascination with the neighbourhood of St-Giles-in-the-Fields. It influenced and inspired his work as a writer, journalist and social reform campaigner, from his childhood recollections through to the final years of his life.

Heritage event supported by Chestertons.
