Dr. Gillian White visits us once again to present another of her entertaining and informative historical talks. This time her topic is the 1st Duke of Devonshire (1552 - 1626). William Cavendish was a nobleman, politician and courtier, who was also known as “ the most dissolute man in London “ and we will find out why he earned this lasting reputation.

His significant role in the remodelling of Chatsworth, one of the finest of England’s country houses, is also part of this talk.
