Step into Spring: Corinne Fowler - Our Island Stories

How well do we know the history of the British countryside that is so beloved? Discover a new story of rural Britain and its colonial past as told through a series of country walks with public historian Corinne Fowler, author of the 2020 National Trust report.

Having walked the length of Britain to explore the countryside’s many connections to colonialism, Corinne Fowler combines local and global history to present an insightful and unexpected history of the countryside, connecting the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton.

In this talk, Corinne insightfully and thoughtfully paces through the history of the British countryside, which will also feature insights into the local Kent countryside not included in her book, Island Stories.
