Discover a different historical character each month to regale you with stories of the past

About

On the fourth Sunday of each month, come and meet someone from history. As you walk the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, a different historical character will be there each month to regale you with stories of the past.

Children are free to ask questions and find out about some of the people who we can usually only read about in history books.

Programme: 

Sunday 22nd October: John Deman, Black Greenwich pensioner

Sunday 26th November: Samuel Pepys, diarist and naval administrator
