We all think we know about the Gunpowder Plot, but how much do we know of the secret meetings beforehand? Was it Catesby et al who planned the plot or did Sir Robert Cecil and the government have a nefarious hand in it? David Tordoff (pictured) will explain all. David says he is amazed that over 400 years later, we in England still celebrate an event which was in essence a great failure. His presentation will cover why there was a need for a plot, who participated, how the plotters intended to succeed and what happened to them. And most importantly, which is the true story?
