Digital History Lecture Programme available to groups & organisations

Chris Hobby and Paul French have created a series of digitally illustrated historical talks which are informative and entertaining, and they are inviting any local group, or organisation, who would like to book one of the lectures.

Each lecture focuses on locations, buildings and characters from the areas around Milford on Sea, Lymington and the New Forest. 

The four lecture talks presented by Chris last around 30 to 45 minutes each, followed by a Q&A session, and you can choose which one you would like to see.

The lectures show a collection of photographs, paintings and drawings that illustrate how the people and area have developed over the years, together with the anecdotes and stories captured within those images. There are also recorded verbal memories from local characters which create a Living History archive.

Current Featured topics:
  • Georgian Guide to our local area.
  • Hurst Castle - The Silent Sentinel.
  • Views from the Beach House.
  • Milford-on-Sea Now and Then.
Chris & Paul can connect to your own TV or Multimedia system or, if easier for you, they can bring their own screen, amplification & projector.

Other subjects planned to be added to the Digital History Lectures include: Characters from the Area - Indians in the New Forest _ Moments in Time - and Parks and Gardens.

Please Note: There is a nominal charge for each of these talks towards the costs of delivery.

For further information, or to book, please contact: Paul at:

Chris has held many role in the village from being a parish councillor to most recently leading a team of local historians in the 'Cornwallis Remembered' Project. The project resulted in a permanent memorial being established for the famous Milford on Sea admiral in June 2023 at Portsmouth Royal Dockyard.

About Paul French
