The 26th Richard Hutchings Lecture
Coming up in a couple of weeks, Isle of Wight historian, John Medland - who some of you may have heard talking about Isle of Wight Hidden Heroes earlier this year - will be giving the 26th Richard Hutchings Lecture.

John will be sharing the adventures of two Freshwater naturalists, father and son, James and Henry Roberts, who went on an extraordinary trip to Brazil in 1869-71.

The talk takes place in Julia's Tearoom at Dimbola at 4pm on Friday 12th October. Donations to the Julia Margaret Cameron Trust will be appreciated.
