Dorothy Heaton, secretary for Tottington and District Horticultural Society, said: "Peter has given several talks for us which have always been popular, full of information and humour.

"This should be no exception even though the topic sounds serious- he will bring social history into it as well as some epitaphs which he has found to be unusual.

"He is an exceptional speaker and his talks are always full of information with a sense of humour."

Peter Watson has previously spoken about work houses, street names, myths and legends.
