A display of historic items on a shelf against a mauve backdrop. On the left is a metal object made up of a band and a loop on the right is a red silk hat decorated with fine gold details. Today’s spotlight talk is all about two contrasting pieces of historical headwear: Charles I’s cap and a scold’s bridle. We will be exploring the interconnecting themes of power, control and status whilst taking a closer look at two incredible objects.

Our spotlight talks are a series of short lunchtime talks designed by our staff to illuminate the stories behind our fascinating displays.

This event takes place at the Staffordshire History Centre.

Free but donations welcome, no need to book just join us in the exhibition.
