Jeweller Nigel Hill,
known for his sense
of humour and once
called the most
eccentric jeweller in
the East Midlands, will
be giving an illustrated
talk with his partner, Tina Wiggins, in
Cotterstock Village Hall on Saturday 21st
May at 7pm for 7.30pm.

Nigel, who trained from a very young age,
mainly in Hatton Garden, also begun his
other career learning to play the drums
starting at the age of eight. The business
moved to Oundle in 2002 to start Harpur’s
of Oundle. Having specialised in gemstones
for many years, Harpur’s offers an eclectic
mix of stock from small, independent makers.

The shop is a real Aladdin’s Cave, with oneoffs
or small limited runs you won’t usually
find in High Street stores. As manufacturers,
Harpur’s also makes their own items for sale
as well as offering a bespoke service. In
addition, Nigel has been known to sell the
odd suit of armour, the Russian Marshall
Zurkov’s WW2 uniform, and even a horse’s
hoof from The Charge of the Light Brigade!

Tickets for the talk, which promises to be a
light-hearted and entertaining evening are
priced at £8, including a glass of wine and
canapés. They are available from Harpur’s
of Oundle or from Dawn in Cotterstock
on 01832 226096. All proceeds to The St
Andrew’s Church Bell Restoration Project.
