Weekday Wonderings Talk with Dr Cheryl Butler: ‘Incontinent of Her Body’: Women, Society & Morality in Tudor Southampton
Thursday 4 February 2027
11am - 12.30pm
Event Information
Weekday Wonderings is a weekday initiative from Southampton City Council Cultural Services, exploring the rich history and heritage of the town. Each session is different, but it could be a talk, tour or something entirely different! Look out for exciting activities on different weekdays!
Join historian Dr Cheryl Butler for this history talk in the beautiful Georgian Room. Admission to the museum is included on the day of the talk.
According to the mayor Knaplock, Southampton was a den of adultery and carnal fornication! Southampton had a licenced brothel, and founded charities as the result of the illicit affairs of prominent citizens. Today’s tabloid papers would have had a field day!
