Local historian Denis Hill raised money for Children In Need with a lecture marathon titled Historic Mansfield.

The illustrated set of five lectures at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mansfield, explored the town’s history.

The lectures, on 17th November, covered Water Mills Of Mansfield, Victorian Mansfield, Mansfield Miscellany, Historic Mansfield Today and Early History Of Mansfield.

Denis said: “I am pleased to announce that the lecture marathon raised £428 with many people agreeing to allow their donations to be Gift Aided, which took the total to just over £500.”
