Congleton’s First Charter – is it 1272?
This talk has now been cancelled due to the State Funeral of the Queen.
This year Congleton is celebrating its 750th anniversary, but there is much more to that than is at first apparent. Is this the right year to celebrate? Is Henry De Lacy the central figure in our story? David Roffe discusses the circumstances in which Congleton received its first charter in c.1272, and the impact it had on the development of the town and its government.
