Gresham College has existed since the late 16th century, with 7 original professors appointed to give public lectures  in Astronomy, Divinity, Geometry, Law, Music, Physic (medicine) and Rhetoric. 

Since 2001 the lectures have been given online as well as in person, and there are a number of Astronomy lectures available to everyone. 

Amongst those that focus of the History of Astronomy are: 

Caroline Herschel: Discoverer of Comets

The Astronomer and the Witch: Kepler's Mother

The Clockwork God: Isaac Newton and the Mechanical Universe

Shakespeare's Astronomy

Coming up soon is Christopher Wren's Cosmos on 22nd Feb
