Sir Ian Kershaw Lecture
Bedians visited Manchester Grammar School to listen to distinguished Old Bedian, Professor Sir Ian Kershaw talk on ‘Hitler: a weak dictator?’ This was the most recent of a number of lectures attended by historians who have also heard Michael Wood talking on Shakespeare and David Starkey addressing members of the Portico Library on Monarchy in England. The next lecture to be attended will be with Professor Nick Higham on the somewhat earlier period ‘The Norman Conquest’. Professor Kershaw gave a lecture at St Bede’s three years ago.
