Colour of Shadows goes on sale 1 Sept 2020 but you can pre-order now

My new non-fiction book will be How to Survive in Medieval England; it's my first for the popular publisher Pen & Sword Books - the first edits have been completed and returned and now I'm waiting to see the cover design. Hopefully the book will be out in time for Christmas!

New Classes returning in September?

I'm in discussion regarding a new class to restart in the autumn with reduced numbers, but we'll see.

As you know The Woodville has closed its doors to groups so we couldn't meet for our last class in April. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Unfortunately, our short summer course is also unlikely to run but I'll keep you updated on developments.

In the meantime you could try the following sites:

Thank you for your company and loyalty over past months - or even years, in some cases. I hope we can get together again at some future date.

My SUMMER History Course was due to start in May 2020 - it may now go ahead in September
