The Tower of London holds many secrets, many of them with a bloody ending.  

There was Captain Blood himself, who tried to steal the Crown Jewels.  

There were the 'Princes in the Tower', just two of those who did not make it out alive.  

Discover who was beheaded, who was hung, drawn and quartered and who just vanished when Mel Stride gives the latest illustrated talk in Belstone Village Hall.

Mr Stride is well qualified to reveal all about the Tower, being an accredited Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the winner of the Tourist Board 'Guide of the Year Award' in 2005.

The talk begins at 7.30pm on Saturday, January 23. Refreshments will be available in the interval and donations will be accepted for hall funds and the Children's Hospice South West.
