We're delighted to share some pre-Christmas treats from our colleagues @VCH_London!
First, this beautiful cover for one of our 2025 publications, @VCH_Hereford's next 'Short' on the parish of #Cradley. #LocalHistory [1/3]
A little pre-Christmas treat from our friends @UoLPress - the cover of our next but one 'Short' on the parish of Cradley in Herefordshire.
This is the latest in a string of excellent 'Shorts' covering the area below the Malvern hills and Ledbury, watch this space for more!
ALT The cover of a book, The Victoria History of Herefordshire, Cradley, by Anastasia Stylianou and Fergus Eskola-Oakes. Text in white on a mid grey band, cover image shows (left), a timber framed building with a brick chimney with a backdrop of hills and trees in autumn orange. The foreground is wet ground, puddles on an unmade road.
Next, two sets of draft text for forthcoming @VCH_London #BigRedBooks. First, drafts of #Whiteparish and #Landford by @HistoryRosalind for @WiltsHistory [2/3]:

Always a highlight! Wonderful to welcome supporters to @StJohnsOx for the great annual @VCHOxfordshire Christmas Lecture
The recording of the fab session we co-hosted with @UHIHistory last week is now available history.ac.uk/podcasts/pla... - definitely worth watching for reflections on the multiple identities, scales & timeframes of ‘public history’
We’re delighted to share the schedule for our Winter/Spring 2025 events series. Everyone is welcome to these entirely online only events. Find out more & sign up to join here history.ac.uk/seminars/peopl…

Was a huge pleasure to work with our @VCH_Cumbria colleagues on this fantastic book. The very rainy February day I spent in Burton-in-Kendal will have been totally worth it when this 250th volume of @VCH_London arrives!
