    Prosecution of Felons 1703-2014

    11:00 -12:30
    27/02/2027
    Strutts Centre
    Derby Road, Belper, Derbyshire, DE56 1UU

    Speaker: Robert Mee

    Felons’ Societies sprung up all over the place in the 1700’s – some are still going today. In Derbyshire, virtually every parish was covered by one. But what were they, and what did they do? Robert Mee is a local historian based in Heanor who has spoken to us on several occasions before, and this talk is based on his M.A. dissertation.
