Warwickshire Local History Society (WLHS) continues its 2024 programme of evening talks on
Tuesday 20th February with a talk given by Peter Coulls.
Held at the Primary School Hall, Aylesford School, Tapping Way, Warwick, CV34 6XR, the talk
will focus on the story of Umberslade Baptist Chapel, a non-conformist estate chapel, and the
estate owners, the Muntz family; 18th century immigrants to Birmingham from Bohemia.
The
Muntz family are remembered chiefly for the eponymous metal alloy, Muntz Metal, and
perhaps their connection to the Cutty Sark.
The talk will start at 7.30 pm with tea and coffee served from 7 pm.
There is no need to book and non-members can attend for just £3, refundable if they join the
society on the day.
