EXETER in the 1640s and 1650s

Jan 4, 2022

EXETER in the 1640s and 1650s, confrontation, settlement and realignment

Dr Todd Gray MBE

Delivered via Zoom

11 January to 15 February 2022

10:30 – 11:45

A six week online course looking at the city during the Civil War and in Cromwell’s decade which followed. These years were a particularly frantic period in Exeter’s history and challenged public and private loyalties (and conscience). Comparisons will be made with other parts of Devon, notably Dartmouth and Barnstaple.

Fee: £36.00

Each Zoom lecture is illustrated and will be followed by a question and answer session. A recording of each lecture is available to course members for the following seven days.

Bookings can be made through https://stevensbooks.co.uk/product/zoom-course-exeter-in-the-1640s-and-1650s/

or, contact Stevensbooks direct on 01392 459760 and pay by phone.

Online bank payments can also be made.
