Historian and co-curator Tom Mayberry will be giving a talk about the exhibition ‘After Sedgemoor’ in the Great Hall of Taunton Castle.
‘After Sedgemoor’ marks the 340th anniversary of the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685. The exhibition and talk explores the rebellion’s tragic consequences and how they have been remembered by later generations.
The rebellion has a fundamental place in the story of Somerset and of Taunton Castle which is indelibly linked to the Monmouth Rebellion as the setting for Judge Jeffreys’ Bloody Assizes.
