The next Pinner Local History Society talk is Horatia in Pinner, by Lily Style on Thursday 10th April at 8pm at Pinner High School.
Horatia Nelson Thompson was born at 23 Piccadilly on 29th January 1801. Her mother was Emma, Lady Hamilton and her father was national hero, Admiral Horatio Nelson. The talk will be presented by Lily Styles, Horatia’s 3rd great-granddaughter and founder of the Emma Hamilton Society.
Lily will explore how Emma Hamilton’s spurning by the British Government impoverished Horatia and ultimately drove her to Pinner. Horatia died in Pinner and is buried in Paines Lane Cemetery.
Visitors are very welcome (suggested donation £3).
Please note that due to the refurbishment of the Village Hall, this meeting has been moved to Pinner High School, Beaulieu Drive, Pinner, HA5 1NB. There is car parking on site.
