Historians head to Herefordshire

This year’s history reading party found a new venue near Bromyard in Herefordshire. The weather was fine and the surroundings peaceful. The books discussed took us from the Arab conquests to Decolonisation, via Sir Isaac Newton and the Roaring Twenties, Empress Nur Jahan and Scottish masculinity. Afternoons were spent at Brockhampton Hall and Goodrich Castle and on the Malvern Hills.
