Judge Jeffrey’s Talk and Walk
Judge Jeffreys is the subject of the Dorchester and District Gardening Club’s July talk. Known as the ‘Hanging Judge’ (1645 – 1689), Judge Jeffrey ordered the execution of the Monmouth Rebels during the Bloody Assizes and placed their heads on the spikes of St Peter’s Church in Dorchester.
Our speaker is Mark Damon Chutter, the Chairman and Academic Director of the Thomas Hardy Society and a member of the Dorchester Civic Society and the Dorchester Town Council Heritage Committee.
Doors open at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. No booking necessary, free entry for members, visitors £4 on the door. Bring and buy stall and draw with tea/coffee and biscuits available. Everyone welcome.
**The following Wednesday 8th July Mark will be leading a walk around Dorchester on the same subject. Meet at 6.30pm at the Charles Street entrance to the United Church Hall. No charge but donations welcome.
