The 'Jean-Jacques Rousseau' Annual Lecture and Conference usually take place at the end of November (occasionally moved on the following year in March).

We hereby celebrate the true but very little known fact that Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived for a time in Staffordshire. From 22 March 1766 to 1 May 1767 Rousseau lived in the little Staffordshire village of Wootton. Rousseau had been invited to England by David Hume with whom he soon afterwards quarrelled. He then spent the next year in seclusion in Staffordshire writing the first drafts of his Confessions. When he was not writing it is said that he roamed the Staffordshire countryside in his Armenian costume studying wild flowers. Many years after his departure the locals remembered 'Owd Ross Hall', not just for his eccentricities but also for his gifts to local charities. They believed he was a king in exile!
