Prescot's Elizabethan Fayre & Market
an interactive talk by local historian
& JMU scholar Rosemary Tyler

Historian Rosemary Tyler has invested months of research into Prescot's past, focusing particularly on life and commerce during the Elizabethan era, when William Shakespeare is known to have visited the town. Here she shares some of her insights into trading in the town during that period.

There will also be a chance to browse some fascinating artefacts from the time.
