History Talk : 'Before May Fair Became Mayfair'
We're delighted to announce that our first lecture by Dr. Francis Boorman on the
History of Mayfair entitled 'Before May Fair Became Mayfair' will take place
in the Arrupe Hall in Farm St Church on the 15th of July 2025, 18.30-20.00.
Dr. Boorman will chart how the open fields between Hyde Park and the spreading metropolis were built up into a wealthy suburb of grand houses. The story is not always straightforward, taking in clandestine marriages,
an overflowing burial ground, and the Impiety and Vice' of the May Fair.
