Kenilworth: ‘Beer, Bets and Bullbaiting’

Wed 12th January 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm GMT

Free
  • « London: Talk and tour of the Foundling Museum – CANCELLED
  • Birmingham: Motor Ambulance Units during WW1 – CANCELLED »

A talk by Mary Bodfish. Mary hails from Smethwick, West Midlands, and has been researching her family history – and more! – for many years, and giving talks for over 20 years.

Our forebears revelled in bull-baitings, cockfighting, boxing matches and abominable drunkenness; especially in the Black Country. The boozy, bloody amusements of the working classes rose and fell – and something remains of them today.
