⚖️SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT⚖️

DR KATE CHERRELL

We’re delighted to announce that Dr Kate Cherrell will be joining us as a featured speaker at The Midnight Assembly 2027.

A paranormal historian, author, broadcaster and investigator, Kate has built a career exploring the fascinating relationship between history, folklore, death and the supernatural.

Holding a PhD from the University of Lincoln, her academic work explores Victorian Gothic culture, Spiritualism and our evolving relationship with the unexplained.

An experienced paranormal investigator, Kate combines academic research with firsthand experience, bringing historical context and fresh perspectives to some of Britain’s most enduring mysteries.

Her television appearances include Jack Osbourne’s Haunted Homecoming, Unexplained: Caught on Camera, Weird Britain and Britain’s Last Witch, alongside contributions to BBC Sounds’ Uncanny.

Kate is also the creator of @burialsandbeyond exploring extraordinary stories of graves, folklore and the stranger corners of history. Her published work includes Begotten and Memorials to the Dead, alongside contributions to Fortean Times and Haunted Magazine.

So why The Midnight Assembly?

Because understanding the unexplained isn’t just about investigating what happens today. It’s about exploring the history, beliefs and experiences that have shaped our fascination with the paranormal for centuries.

Kate represents something central to the Assembly’s vision: bringing together academic knowledge, practical experience and genuine curiosity.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome her to the stage for what promises to be a fascinating and thought-provoking presentation.

Welcome to The Midnight Assembly, Dr Kate Cherrell.

Where certainty ends, conversation begins.

“You should see our chapel. Henry VIII missed it!”

There are few sentences that’ll immediately lure me into a dimly-lit building, but that was a no-brainer. I recently found myself at St James Church in Spilsby, where their Willoughby Chapel sits as an amazing place of remembrance, frozen in time (and indeed, did survive the reformation).

The Willoughby Chapel gains its name through the Willoughby family, who are still based in Lincolnshire, near Bourne. The Willoughby family married into the Bec family, who came across with William the Conqueror, and then married into the Bertie family. Keeping up with this?
The family ultimately became known as Willoughby de Eresby; Willoughby is a nearby village and Eresby was a former family seat. The Willoughby Chapel holds the grand memorials of centuries of Willoughbys, from John, 2nd Baron Willoughby (d.1349) to Peregrine Bertie (d.1601) who was a General under Elizabeth I.
I’ll keep things brief here and expand more in a blog, but I have to say the grandest memorial has to be that for Katherine, 12th Baroness Willoughby d’Eresby, Duchess of Suffolk (d.1580) and her second husband, Richard Bertie. Once richly painted and gilded, it features busts of Katherine and Richard and three large figures holding shields. These figures depict a hermit, a Saracen and a wildman – the latter is my personal favourite, who I’ve decided is an ancestor of Geoff Capes.
