This group has worked through the 17th and
18th century, and is halfway through the 19th. This is a DIY
group, none of whom are professional historians although
they enjoy doing the research, with everyone taking turns to
present a topic of their own choice, usually two topics per
session. Everyone has a free choice of topic, not just wars
and politics but lives of notable people, artists,
explorers, scientists, philosophers. Recent topics include
The First Afghan War (1839), Regency Life in London, the
Greek War of Independence (1823), John Keats and the Rosetta
Stone. Talks are followed by discussion.
