Professor Mary Beard addresses 'Who owns the past?' An Octavia Hill Lecture with the National Trust

Join guest speaker, Professor Mary Beard, a leading classicist, historian, author and broadcaster, as she focuses on the historic houses and collections in the care of the National Trust. This is the second annual Octavia Hill Lecture from the National Trust, in collaboration with Times Radio. Professor Beard asks ‘Who owns the past?’ She examines what the past is for, how we can learn from and challenge it, and how we can bring it to life. Throughout her lecture, Professor Beard considers issues of authenticity and ownership and questions who makes the decisions about collection displays. She looks at how the past is reconstructed and how it's discussed and presented. Professor Beard uses the National Trust and the historic houses in our care as a gateway to speak on wider debates around history, heritage and ownership, and to shed a light on what the past says about society and the wider world. The histories, people and artefacts explored in this talk are drawn from a variety of the places in our care, including Dyrham Park in Gloucestershire, Wimpole in Cambridgeshire and The Children’s Country House at Sudbury in Derbyshire. This lecture was recorded in front of a live audience on 19 March 2024 at The Royal Society, London, UK. We’re working in collaboration with Times Radio to bring history to everyone. Times Radio provides intelligent and thought-provoking live coverage of news, politics and culture. Together, through this series of annual lectures, respected voices and commentators lead us in reflecting on nature, beauty and history.
