Events
Every month there is a talk on some aspect of the history of Camden or of London in general, free to members but open to non-members for a £1 entry fee. These are usually on the third Thursday of every month, but occasionally on another day depending on the availability of venues and speakers. Warning of a change in the usual timing is given in the Newsletter a month or two in advance.
The talks always start at 7:30pm and last 45-50 minutes, with time for question and comment afterwards. Doors open 7pm, at various venues within the Borough. There are 11 such events during the year (none in August), all free to members. For further information click on the title of the talk in the Events Calendar below.

George Morland, artist: consequences of a stolen childhood
Thursday, 17 July 2008, 20:30 - 22:00
Marian Kamlish has compiled a new biography (to be published in July) of the artist George Morland (1763-1804), famous and wealthy in his day but ending in penury, who lived in what is now Camden Town for the most successful period of his life. For this talk at the Foundling Museum Marian will concentrate on his unhappy childhood, in which his precocious talent in drawing was brutally exploited by his spendthrift father, and what she believes were the factors in that childhood that drove him to ruin.
Location: Clore Education Centre, lower ground floor of The Foundling Museum, 40 Brunswick Square London WC1N 1AZ
Contact: Dr Peter Woodford
Cost: £1 to non-members
