Brian Groom: These Isles: A History of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland

  • Sunday 26 April, 11am
  • Tickets From £9
  • Hexham Library
Brian Groom

An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland – and the people who have called them home.

From the highlands to the Channel Islands, via the towns and cities of the nations in between, this is the definitive story of our shared history, told through the groups who lived here. These Isles sketches the evolution of the regions, our relationships with each other, and the legacy of those who have shaped it – from the Celts and Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, Tudors and Stuarts, musicians and playwrights, politicians and nobles, and modern icons. 
 
In conversation with Harry Pearson.
