326 Three Slices of England's Past
History | Registration opens 8/4/26 9:00 AM EDT
To journey across England is to stroll through its rich and often peculiar past. This is an invitation to join us as we walk down three separate historical paths, observe the human stories associated with them, and reflect on what they just might suggest about our own time.
- The Peculiar English Custom of Wife Selling (think: lex non scripta)
- How the Gregarious Pasqua Rosee Jump Started Modern Civilization (think: caffeine)
- A Hymn to the Saints of Eyam Village (think: the great dying of 1665)
