Lord Leycester Hospital Warwick
Joseph Hobson Jagger is unique among the men ‘who broke the bank at Monte Carlo’, the only one known to have devised an infallible and legal system to defeat the odds at roulette. But he was not what you might expect: not a gentleman or an aristocrat, nor a professional gambler – Jagger was a Yorkshire textile worker, who had laboured from childhood in the mills of Victorian Bradford. What led this man, who had never left the north of England, and did not speak French, to travel nearly a thousand miles to the exclusive world of the Riviera at a time when most people lived and died within a few miles of where they were born?
Join Anne Fletcher, Jagger’s great-great-great niece, as in this true-life detective story she uncovers how he was able to win at Monte Carlo – and how his legacy lives on in casinos worldwide.

From 30/09/2019 to 30/09/2019
From 30/09/2019 to 30/09/2019
Lord Leycester Hospital Warwick
Wallis Simpson was the woman who stole the king’s heart and rocked the monarchy – but she was not Edward VIII’s first or only love.
Rachel Trethewey’s latest book is about the three women Edward adored before Wallis came to dominate his life. The girl he wanted to marry, who would have made the perfect match for a future king. His long-term mistress, who knew the rules of the game and that she would never marry him. His twice-married American lover, who enjoyed a domestic life with Edward, but realised it could not last forever. In each love affair, Edward behaved like a little boy lost, a spoilt child.
Any one of these three women could have changed the course of history. In examining their lives and impact on the heir to the throne, Rachel questions whether Edward ever really wanted to be king.

From 30/09/2019 to 30/09/2019
Lord Leycester Hospital Warwick
On a wet afternoon in September 1938, Neville Chamberlain stepped off an aeroplane, waved a piece of paper at the waiting crowd and said that his visit to Adolf Hitler had averted the greatest crisis in recent memory.
‘Peace for our time’.
A year later, Germany invaded Poland.
Using newly discovered sources and deep archival research, Tim Bouverie has written a compelling new narrative of the disastrous years of indecision, failed diplomacy and parliamentary infighting that enabled Nazi domination of Europe: an unforgettable portrait of the ministers, aristocrats and amateur diplomats who, through their actions (and inaction), shaped Britain’s policy and determined the fate of Europe.

From 01/10/2019 to 01/10/2019
From 01/10/2019 to 01/10/2019
Lord Leycester Hospital Warwick
Frances Gorges has survived the accusation of witchcraft. Yet, if the court of King James knew of her love for Tom Wintour, one of the executed members of the Gunpowder Plot, it would mean certain death. Pregnant with Tom’s child, Frances lives in fear and in hiding – until she is offered the chance to make a respectable marriage and return to court. She will not be expected to sleep with her husband: and the only price she must pay is to give up the cause for which her lover died … but old loyalties are hard to deny, and soon Frances is drawn back into the snake-pit scheming of the factions trying to take the throne.
Compelling, sensual, suspenseful, The Devil’s Slave is a standalone sequel to Tracy Borman’s acclaimed novel The King’s Witch and further evidence that Tracy – one of our finest historians – is also a brilliant novelist.

Lord Leycester Hospital Warwick
Graham Sutherland’s latest book, Warwick at War 1939 – 1945, looks at life in Warwick during the Second World War.
Warwick was well prepared for air raids, despite squabbling amongst the organisers of our air defences – and some organisations being unwilling to help. Although the town ultimately experienced very little war damage, problems came with the influx of refugees and evacuees, following major air raids nearby, in particular, in Coventry. Meanwhile, scandal arose from the harsh disciplinarian activities of Chief Constable Kemble, which resulted in a Home Office enquiry. And, the arrival of visiting troops controversially attracted some ‘unattached women’. The end of the war brought its own problems, with controversial plans for housing and the redevelopment of the town …
Join Graham for an exploration of these aspects of the town’s 20th century history.

Another opportunity to join local canal enthusiast, Trevor Langley, for a short return coach journey and guided tow-path tour of some of the remarkable features of the canals and waterway infrastructure in the Warwick area. Trevor will reflect on the financing, design and construction of these canals, as well as their use and impact on the community. How did canals transform this area and, ultimately, enable the safe transportation of local produce and manufactured goods?
Trevor’s tour has been a sell-out feature of the Warwick Words History Festivals since 2016 – come and find out why!
Please bring walking boots, a packed lunch and a torch. There are steps, slopes and narrow paths to negotiate and so we regret that this event is not suitable for wheelchairs or those with mobility difficulties.

Paula Fletcher
Warwick is known for its Castle and beautiful buildings – but the town also has a dark underside.
Take a 90 minute walking tour with Paula Fletcher, a professionally-trained tour guide and a volunteer with Unlocking Warwick, to learn of murder, murderers and dark deeds that have taken place in our not-so-peaceful town.
This walk will take you past some of the buildings where murders took place. We also look at the lives of those who dispensed justice, the Warwick pathologist whose work was vital in proving guilt, the Circuit Judge who enjoyed sentencing people to death far too much … and the spot where a hangman, famous throughout the land, dispatched the guilty with glee.
Please note this event is not suitable for children under 16.

The Trail of Queen Caroline a Performance Warwick Words History Festival
From 23/11/2019 to 23/11/2019
From 23/11/2019 to 23/11/2019
Ballroom Court House Warwick
A collaboration between the University of Warwick History Department and the Loft Theatre Company.
In 1820, following the death of George III, Caroline of Brunswick, the estranged wife of the Prince Regent – now King George IV – returned to Britain from her continental exile, despite attempts to bribe her to stay away.
The new king pressured the government to bring her to trial on a Bill of Pains and Penalties, in an attempt to deny her the status of Queen Consort. She became a cause célèbre for popular radicalism, especially in London, fuelling opposition to the much derided George IV.
This performance aims to situate the events and to convey some of the evidence informing the drama that unfolded in the House of Lords, as the government of the day sought to follow the king’s instructions to them.

From 27/11/2019 to 28/11/2019
Bridge House Theatre Warwick
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will”
A gothic masterpiece of tempestuous passions and dark secrets, Jane Eyre tells the thrilling story of an orphan girl and her journey from a childhood of loneliness and cruelty to a life at Thornfield Hall and an unlikely relationship with the mysterious Mr Rochester. Falling in love, she gradually uncovers a hidden past to the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall, a terrible secret that forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice.
Don’t miss Blackeyed Theatre’s brand new stage adaptation of one of the greatest works of English fiction. Captivating, brooding and intensely powerful, Jane Eyre is a moving and unforgettable portrayal of one woman’s quest for equality and freedom, and lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling.
“One of the most innovative, audacious companies working in contemporary English Theatre”

Today this fourteenth-century French cleric is best-known for a single work, the extraordinary Messe de Nostre Dame. However, in his own era Machaut was fêted throughout Europe for his wide-ranging skills. The Orlando Consort’s new programme demonstrates the full lyrical beauty, the sensual imagery and the inspired harmonic brilliance that lies in the work of this truly great poet – a direct inspiration to Chaucer – and composer.
“Hauntingly and mellifluously sung by The Orlando Consort, this music still sounds as flavoursome as it must have done 650 years ago.” – The Daily Telegraph
