Book Launch: The Darwin Farms by Peter Worsley
The MERL is proud to support this special free event to launch The Darwin Farms by Peter Worsley, a revealing glimpse into the lesser-known farming lives of eighteenth century polymath Erasmus Darwin and his notable grandson Charles. This account of the family’s Lincolnshire estates is based on letters, photographs, maps and accounts from the time and has been described as “an excellent idea and addition to the Darwin literature” (Dr John van Wyhe, Director of Darwin Online).
