The life and legacy of First World War heroine and Norfolk nurse Edith Cavell will be explored in a special illustrated talk taking place in the month of the anniversary of her death.

From her childhood and early life, we will trace her journey to nursing, through her time at nursing college in Brussels, her work with an underground network helping Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium, and finally to that fateful day facing a firing squad in October 1915.

We’ll look at the aftermath of her execution, the events which brought her body back to her home county in 1919, and her enduring legacy.

This talk will take place in the Weston Room at 11.30am on Saturday 3 October.

Tickets cost £7 plus a small booking fee.

Tickets can also be purchased for £10 on the day from the Welcome and Donations Desk in the Hostry, subject to capacity.
