A story from 1870, about the Victorian Black Country parish of Pensnett where the errant clergyman had a flirtation with a pupil teacher at the local school, that led to scandal in the village, a clergy discipline trial, a series of anonymous broadsheets circulating in the village making all sorts of accusations, and a nationally reported libel trial. Wayward clergy, scandal and libel – all the hallmarks of a good story!

Following the Black Country Society AGM- this will be a hybrid meeting taking place both at Bilston Town Hall and via Zoom
