Enquire

Join author Jon Berry in the Law Area on the first floor of the de Havilland LRC for a gripping investigation into a forgotten case that still haunts British legal history.

In his latest book, Who Killed Oswald Grey, Berry explores the real-life case of Oswald Grey - the last Black man hanged in Britain in 1962 - revealing a chilling story of deep-seated prejudice that is as relevant today as it was 60 years ago.

Hear the story, ask questions, and decide for yourself whether justice was truly served.

This is a free event with tea and coffee provided. All welcome and no need to book.
