RAWDON Community Library Lecture Series continues next week when Diane Fare, of the Brontë Parsonage Museum will give a talk on the life of Branwell Brontë.

A spokesperson said: "Diane has been coming regularly to talk about members of the Brontë family. Her talks are always informative and very entertaining.

"Her talk on Branwell Brontë (at 2pm on Tuesday, November 29) promises to be intriguing and enlightening.

"Branwell was a promising poet and artist, but lost his job after having an affair with his employer’s wife, succumbed to drug and alcohol addiction and died at 31.

"Tickets are just £5 (£3 students) and can be bought on the door or in advance from the library. Refreshments (non-alcoholic!) included."

The talk is at Rawdon Community Library, Micklefield Park, New Road Side, Rawdon.
