There’s a fascinating subject for the October meeting of
Brigg Amateur Social Historians.
Torrington’s Tour of Lincolnshire 1791 will be revealed
during an illustrated talk by Dr Brian Davy.
The meeting will be held at Brigg Servicemen’s Club, Coney
Court, on Tuesday, October 6, starting at 8pm.
In the summer of 1791 the future Viscount Torrington toured
Lincolnshire “with his nightcap in one pocket and a bottle of white brandy in
the other.”
His journal, complete with port stains, has survived to tell
where he went and who the aristocrat met along the way.
Admission to BASH meetings is free and everyone is welcome.
There is no need to book in advance. Light refreshments will be served and a raffle held to help
with costs.
The Servicemen’s Club is next to the town’s main car
park.
