As Governor\, he developed friendships with the Hutchinsons\, the Dyers\, and Roger Williams\, who later described him as “an Instrument of God” for procuring and confirming the Rhode Island Charter.  His radical beliefs\, however\, put him at odds with King Charles II\, who had Vane executed in 1662. Biddlecombe-Brown will explore his life and legacy in Old\, and New England. \nJulie is an experienced curator who heads up the Curation and Archives team at Raby Castle https://www.raby.co.uk/raby-castle/ on behalf of the current owners\, Lord and Lady Barnard.  She previously worked as Curator of Exhibitions at Durham University\, where she first began looking at the links between New England and the north-east of England in 2016 as part of a project team telling the story of indentured Scottish prisoners who were sent to Massachusetts Bay in 1650 https://www.durham.ac.uk/departments/academic/archaeology/research/archaeology-research-projects/scottish-soldiers/.  Since moving to Raby Castle in 2019\, Julie and her team have been getting to grips with a site with almost 1\,000 years of history; over 15\,000 historic items and 2\,500 feet of archives\, a process that uncovers stories that demonstrate that the castle might have roots firmly planted in England but its branches spread across the globe. \nAttendance is free\, but registration is required. Guests can register here.

Numbering in the billions\, the tree was one of the tallest and fastest growing in those regions. Pollinators depended on the flowers\, and wildlife\, livestock\, and people relied on its nutritious nut. Tall and fast-growing\, the tree’s wood was rot-resistant and straight-grained\, making it an excellent source of lumber. \n  \nIn the late 1800s\, a deadly blight\, Cryphonectria parasitica\, was inadvertently imported to the U.S. from Asia as global horticultural trade increased. The American chestnut had no resistance\, and in fewer than 50 years\, the fungus had eliminated it as a mature forest tree\, rendering it functionally extinct. \nGuests can register for free here.
