 08-04-2025 7:30 pm ZOOM only Group Meeting 'Looking for Arthur, finding Arthwys’. By local author and historian, Alistair Hall. Alistair's book, ’The Battle of Mount Badon - Ambrosius, Arthur and the defence of Britain’, published in 2019 was a meticulously researched study that places a very Northern emphasis on key moments of post-Roman Britain’s history. In this evening’s talk Alistair will bring us up to date with his research - it is more analysis than speculation. info@swaag.org
