About the Event

Elihu Yale is a major figure in our history; though, now, mostly forgotten. Among the first nabobs, Yale bequeathed his name to one of the world’s most famous universities. At the same time, he left nothing to poor Catherine except the slur of branding her a “wicked wife”. His reputation is tarnished by his involvement, through the East India Company in the trade in Tamil slaves, yet true story of Catherine and Elihu Yale is still “stranger than fiction”, as David explains in this one-hour session.
