Josiah Wedgwood and Erasmus Darwin were two major figures in 19th Century society. The ideas of their grandson transformed the way we understand the natural world.

The presentation will be given by Bibbs Cameron, of Shrewsbury Historica who has curated Darwin Exhibitions for the Darwin Festival for many years. She has given many presentations on various aspects of Darwin's life and the HMS Beagle's journey in the UK and interviewed in the United States.

She was interviewed by BBC4, and Radio Shropshire, in addition, has been on podcasts on the subject of Darwin in recent years.
