Dr John Sadler
Lecturer in War Studies University of Sunderland Centre For Lifelong Learning
Dr John Sadler was a lawyer, a lecturer in war studies at the University of Sunderland Centre for Lifelong Learning and an experienced battlefield tour guide, widely published on the themes of the Border and Scottish Wars. He is an acknowledged authority on armour, weapons and fighting styles of the period and adopts an interactive approach with his audience with demonstrations of swordplay, musket drill and the odd dash of drama! He sees delivery as much a performance as a lecture!
