It's been a long while since the last newsletter, and we hope you have managed to enjoy the summer -- and are making the most of the 'Indian summer' we seem to be having at the moment.
First we have news of a talk being given by Dr Jeremy Burchardt of the University of Reading, this week, on Wednesday 13 October, at 20:00:
Land, People, and Experience in Twentieth-Century Britain
The talk is being held by the Historical Association, Winchester Branch, in the Science Lecture Theatre at Winchester College (accessed via Kingsgate Road) but will also be broadcast via Zoom. If you would like to attend, either in person or via Zoom, please register in advance and you will be sent a link for joining the Zoom session.
Dr Burchardt is a member of the BAHS and the author of The Allotment Movement in England, 1793-1873 (Woodbridge, 2002) and Paradise Lost? Rural Idyll and Social Change 1800-2000 (London, 2002).
We also have news of a revelatory new book, the first to be published in the Boydell Studies in Rural History:
The Real Agricultural Revolution: The Transformation of English Farming, 1939-1985
Paul Brassley, David Harvey, Matt Lobley, and Michael Winter
An investigation into farming practices throughout a period of seismic change.
