THE DOZEN LAMBTONS by PETER WELSH

Discover the fascinating lives of the Lambton family in this engaging talk. The 2nd Countess of Durham had 13 children, including Jack, the Third Earl, whose story alone is remarkable. Among his siblings were an Admiral, two Generals, a Derby-winning trainer, and a soldier lost in the Great War, alongside three Duchesses and a devoted sister. Join Peter Welsh as he brings this extraordinary family history to life!
