Michael has led on the coordination of the Society's Historians Group talks for a number of years. He has a particular interest in theatre and in this talk he shares his research on theatre in Norwich during what historians call 'The Long 18th Century', from the Restoration period in the early 17th century through to the Regency period in the early 19th century.

In the Society's third Historians virtual talk Michael explores what sorts of dramatic performances could be seen in Norwich, where these took place and the censorship theatre companies frequently had to deal with.

Jonathan Hooton is a City of Norwich Tour Guide, a former Head of Geography at Notre Dame High School and has a fondness for, and plenty of experience of pubs. He has been a regular feature in the Society's event programme, and had been scheduled to deliver both a live talk and a guided tour of Norwich pubs in the 2020 summer events programme.

Norwich has had the reputation of a pub for every day. This claim is examined and taken as a starting point for finding out where they have all gone. The Norwich Pub Detective examines the evidence still to be found to identify former pubs in the City of Norwich and its suburbs from the blindingly obvious to the obscure and quirky. It also is an excuse to discuss many of the interesting and intriguing stories from the past that surround our former pubs.

Former Chair of the Norwich Society Vanessa Trevelyan presents the Society's first virtual talk.

The second talk in the series is presented by John Trevelyan, Chair of the Society's Civic Environment Committee. John looks at how to use existing maps in historical research and how to create maps to illustrate research findings.
