A Conversation with Paradise Regain’d & Samson Agonistes
Wednesday 24th July: 4pm & 7.30pm
Join us for an artist-led tour by Richard Kenton Webb.
Seen in public for the first time, Webb’s drawings – from his third conversation with Milton – are displayed throughout the historic rooms of Milton’s only surviving residence. They speak to the place where he completed Paradise Lost and was inspired to write Paradise Regain’d. Tickets by donation; booking via Eventbrite:
