The Historical Association Norfolk Connections of the D’Oyly Carte Family Lecture

Jim Stebbings will give an illustrated talk on the D’Oyly Carte family, exploring their links with Norfolk and the wider story behind Gilbert and Sullivan fame. The talk focuses on a lesser-known historical connection to the county, including the fact that Richard D’Oyly Carte’s eldest son died at Kelling Sanatorium near Holt, which Carte had helped to establish.

The event is organised by the Norfolk and Norwich branch of the Historical Association and is intended as a history lecture for people interested in local heritage and historical research. It will be delivered by an experienced speaker and aims to shed light on an overlooked aspect of Norfolk’s past.

Attendees can book by emailing Simon Kinder at norwichha@gmail.com. The lecture takes place at The View, The Forum in Norwich, and is part of the branch’s events programme.
