From royal scandals to a ghost trial, discover the stories behind the dates that shaped Georgian Britain.

What can a ghost trial tell us about Georgian Britain? And how did a turnip find its way into the story of a royal coronation?

In Key Dates in Georgian History, Nicholas Travers takes a day-by-day approach to the past, bringing together stories of monarchs, artists, revolutionaries and everyday people. The book spans the upheaval of the Napoleonic Wars and the changes brought about by the Agricultural Revolution, alongside curious episodes that offer a glimpse into everyday Georgian life.

Join us at Southwark Cathedral for a talk exploring an era of political upheaval, social change and artistic achievement through the people who lived it.
