ONLINE WINTER LECTURE SERIES JANUARY TO MARCH 2023
The first of our 2023 online winter lecture series, The rise and fall of Hertfordshire's many inns, 1540-1840, by Jon Mein took place on Wednesday 11 January. Our President David Short gave our second lecture, Using population figures to tell a story, on Wednesday 8 February, exploring how population figures can tell us about our local and national history.
Our final lecture of the series was given on Wednesday 9 March at 19.45 by Elizabeth Eastwood, entitled The Cloud Capp’d Towers — The lost palaces of Hertfordshire. Elizabeth's lecture discussed the lost palaces of Hertfordshire, those many stately homes that once adorned the county but have now been demolished.
A huge thanks to all our excellent speakers.
