• 15 Jan Wed   'THE HISTORY OF LAUNDRY', by Nick Higham. How did people keep clean before baths and showers? Answer: they washed their underclothes. Doing the laundry was vital for personal hygiene, to ensure people didn't stink. But doing the laundry was also immensely hard work (almost always done by women) and used enormous quantities of a scarce resource: water. Nick Higham's A Short History of Laundry starts with Sir John Falstaff and Elizabethan England, takes in dollies, possers and titillating laundrymaids and finishes up with the modern launderette and the fearsome Victorian mangle.
• 19 Feb Wed   'THE WEALDEN IRON INDUSTRY', by Jeremy Hodgkinson. Iron was made in the Weald of south east England from pre-Roman times until the  beginning of the 19th century, and in the Tudor and early-Stuart periods the region was the main iron production area in the kingdom. The talk explores the raw materials, technology and historical development of the industry.
