“Death and Service” – An illustrated talk by Richard Cooper-Knight
Tuesday 3rd November
With November being the month of remembrance, Richard will share stories of the lives of some of our local people, who perished in WWI. Richard has been seeking out First World War Commonwealth Graves across Somerset and has researched the names carved into the granite. This has led him to a wealth of stories of family and tragedy, each name brought to life with their own history.
Many people attended Richard’s first presentation on this subject in 2024 and now he returns with more fascinating histories behind the carved names.
