During the Pilgrimage of Grace many of the local gentry fled to #Hull. Sir John Constable of Burton Constable said that he'd rather die than live with the shame of joining the rebels. Here's his son, who as a baby was perhaps with his father in Hull. @hull_libraries

The first performance of Dvorak's oratorio St Ludmila was given on this day in Leeds Town Hall in 1886
Sadly the first performance was not well received; the work was criticised for its length. Dvořák later rewrote and reduced several parts of the composition

And not to forget Julie @JEBooksHull who is always on hand with copies of the guest's books
Another brilliant night of book chat @HullNoir with @robparkerauthor as guest. We are so lucky to get these free events every month. Nick Quantrill @nicktriplow and @hull_libraries @jrlthull put in the hard work and it is appreciated 👏
