‘How do you know who you are unless you know where you have come from? How can you tell what’s going to happen, unless you know what’s happened before? History isn’t just about the past. It’s about why we are who we are – and about what’s next.’
Tony Robinson, Actor and Television Presenter of Channel 4’s Time Team.
