Edgar Royston Pike, formerly Chairman of the Esher Council, introduced the ‘Esher Library Lectures’ in the late 1960s.
In 1974, Elmbridge Borough Council changed the title of these lectures to the ‘Royston Pike Lectures’ in appreciation of his 20 years’ work on the Library Committee. In 2024, the Royston Pike Lecture Series celebrates its 50th Anniversary.
The 2024 to 2025 lecture series will be back at Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre in Walton on Thursday 12 September at 7:30pm with a talk by Shauna Isaacs: 'The Art of the Steal: Nazi looting during World War 2'. £3 per ticket. Available via the Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre box office or at the door.
