Talk by Andrew Davis. Andrew is the Image Librarian and Heraldry Archive Editor of the The Heraldry Society. If you’ve ever wondered if you were entitled to a coat of arms, then come and listen to this talk.
It starts from the beginning but shows how heraldry can illuminate family history.
But there are many other ways to present it.
Paintings of the Tudor court are well known particularly those of Elizabeth I as
the Virgin Queen. In this talk we will look at Elizabeth’s life and times, her courtiers,
friends and relatives. We will focus particularly on their images, what they were trying to say and how they did it. Enfield too was important to Elizabeth and we will try to locate her here and in the surrounding area.
Well known, but not well known well. . .what lies behind two familiar badges often seen at community events? St John Ambulance people as familiar figures in the community but how exactly does that organisation work. Equally you may see someone wearing the badge of uniform of the Lieutenancy but what exactly is that?
A brief insight into the histories of these organisations and the role they play today serving the community.
