A series of talks is taking place throughout the Nelson's Norfolk exhibition. All talks are free and open to all. No need to book but arrive early to avoid disappointment.
Wednesday 6 August: Fusion 2pm
Lord Nelson- Reflection on the life and Death of a Hero’ with David Burton.
David Roger Burton, an artist and author, spent 14 years in the Royal Navy, leaving in 1975 to pursue his artistic career in various galleries. He finally settled in Norfolk, where he worked for many years on producing hundreds of pieces fashioned from the debris of HMS Victory. His talks on Lord Nelson are entertaining and informative about the lesser known side of Norfolk's most famous son.
