A spokesperson said:

> "This talk traces his life, both personal and work, with the progression of his more famous improvements, such as fire-proof mills and the stove heating system.

> "While William Strutt was recognised widely during his lifetime, he is not on the list of great British engineers today – this research hopes to change that."

Tickets are £10 and can be booked at [erasmusdarwin.org](https://www.erasmusdarwin.org/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
