Biography
Suffolk author Charlie had a regular weekly spot on BBC Radio Suffolk with Lesley Dolphin for 10 years and was weekly cartoonist for the East Anglian Daily Times.
His best selling Suffolk books include "Sloightly on th' Huh".
He is an historian of Spoken English and author of, "In a Manner of Speaking"
He is also a theatre and film dialect coach, (including dialect coach for Ralph Fiennes, Monica Dolan and others in the Netflix film, "The Dig").
In October 2023 Charlie was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Suffolk in recognition of his work and study in "Spoken English"


History of Surnames
Charlie will explain how and why surnames were introduced by the Normans, how they evolved after the Domesday Book in 1086AD and the disruption it caused the English.
Charlie will then enlighten us on the different types of various surnames, and give us their origins, their meanings and their derivation.

Please note this is not a talk on the history of family backgrounds, it is a talk on the “History of Surnames” including their very interesting and original meanings.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A.
