This one in Southport looks interesting :
"QUESTION: WHAT DID A BORED VICAR DO?
Dr Alan Crosby. Fri 8 Sept at 7.30 pm, Holy Trinity Parish Centre, Hoghton Street (opposite YMCA). All welcome. Tickets at the door (includes refreshments) £2 SUES members, £2.50 non-members
Answer: three hundred years ago, he might have written funny, poignant, censorious, scandalous, heartrending or simply bizarre notes in the parish registers. Many (for his eyes, and those of successors only!) would concern his parishioners. What lay under the calm surface of peaceful rural communities? What dark deeds, tragedies and naughtiness do these gossipy jottings expose? Prepare to be entertained, appalled, and amazed by glimpses of real life in villages and busy towns between 1550 and 1800!"
Wish I'd gone to that!!
