Leicestershire's forgotten naval hero - Frank Abney Hastings... Maurice Abney Hastings at the exhibition about his adventurer forefather Frank Abney Hastings, at Ashby Museum, North Street, Ashby. He was from landlocked Ashby (born at Willesley Hall) fought at Trafalgar, he was described as having the potential to be the next Nelson during his lifetime but ended up being court marshalled, partly due to his short fuse and habit of duelling.

Will Johnston has provided us with these fantastic shots of us at the exhibition. See more of Will’s photography at www.willjohnstonphotography.com
