Join artist Steph Morris in exploring his exhibition followed by making your own maps with collage and other techniques.
This history of elements of modern #Loughborough is another of our forthcoming attractions.
It will include the amazingly involved branches of protestant nonconformity, the cultural expressions of the town's many migrant communities, druids, and - of course - sport.
Lots of sport. #Skystorians

Obviously intriguing stuff in church at Nunburnholme,Yorks, E Riding - not just its early medieval cross shaft. Place to look for both will be Victoria County History vol 252, now with publisher, expected 2027. @vch-home.bsky.social is foundation stone of English local history. Congratulations!
Victoria County History
Congratulations to all involved. We understand a little of the commitment required - our VCH history of Loughborough (only post 1750 and only social and cultural history at the moment) is "just" 100,000 words but has kept us occupied for what seems like ages. Out later this year. Watch this space.
