Find out about an Eastbourne Edwardian Gentlman's Entomological Collection
At Eastbourne Natural History and Archaeological Society’s November meeting Tony Pulford will be telling us all about E R Bunnet, an eminent Edwardian amateur entomologist and naturalist who was also a member and the President of ENHAS.
Whilst working on an unrelated project at the Mint House in Pevensey, Tony Pulford came across a box that appeared to hold the life’s work of someone called EJ Bunnett.
Further investigation brought to light unexpected coincidences and serendipitous connections between Tony and Ernest Bunnett, a past President of ENHAS and a remarkable amateur entomologist.
Referencing the sad notion that people die twice, first at their physical passing and again when their name and memory are last recalled, Tony seeks to remember Bunnett and celebrate and record his life and legacy.
The meeting is at St Saviour's Church Hall, Spencer Road, Eastbourne BN21 4UT on Friday, November 28. Tony’s talk starts at 7.30pm with doors open 7pm. The event is free to members; guests welcome £4 on the door.
