Ten Things you didn't know about John Knox 2024

St Mary’s Kirk, Sidegate, Haddington EH41 4BZ

Saturday 31 August

2:00 – 3:30 pm

John Knox, Haddington's most famous son, is often portrayed as a cartoon Calvinist who hated women and trumpeted fire and brimstone from the pulpit. However, the controversial Scottish Reformer was a complex character whose life reads more like an adventure thriller than a history. And, love him or loathe him, his impact on Scottish history, culture and psyche cannot be denied. Despite that – or because of that – most people know very little about him. In this talk Marie Macpherson author of The Knox Trilogy, shares some of the surprising things she has discovered in her research.

Cost: £10 (Funds raised to be shared between St Mary’s Kirk and Haddington’s History Society)
