Over the past twenty years Paul Martin Remfry has led a number of historical events all over the country. He has lectured to professional, semi-professional and amateur bodies as well as to small and large groups of interested individuals. Paul's talks can be as long or as short as you would like. He has been known to talk non-stop on favourite subjects like the Mortimers of Wigmore for three hours or more without a break! However a one hour talk is more normal!

Paul has also led groups around castles and towns after talks made on coaches taking them to the sites. Every year he attends a number of meetings and listed below are the venues and contacts for attending one of the many talks. Some of these dates are provisional.
