Join local historian Margaret Burr as she takes you on a guided walk exploring the fascinating stories behind the lives of Luke Howard, Namer of Clouds (1772-1864) and his Tottenham Green neighbours: Priscilla Wakefield (1751-1832), the Quaker philanthropist, writer and feminist economist and the Turner collector, BG Windus (1790-1867).

The walk will begin at Bruce Castle, stopping along the way outside Luke Howard’s former home at 7 Bruce Grove (site of the only English Heritage Blue Plaque in Tottenham), before then leading you to Tottenham Green, where Luke Howard – along with other pioneers – also lived.
