Old Macdonald, who always considers himself a bit of a martyr given that he works so had to bring you fun and education, and himself a couple of bob, will take time off on March 31st to celebrate the life, and tragic death, of a real Martyr from Brentwood, William Hunter, as he goes to enjoy the second Martyr’s Walk, This event, supported by Brentwood Council and run by our friends from Brentwood Community Theatre, brings the past to life today. To join him come to the History Column at Bennetts Corner at either 11 am or 2 pm. William was burnt at the stake for keeping to his beliefs.
In July we will all be taking part in Sparks Will Fly in Brentwood to welcome the Olympics and we will tell you more about that later. Poor old William found sparks flying too, but that was not so much fun. For him anyway.
