Christmas Past

A talk by Sheelagh James
Did Oliver Cromwell ban Christmas? Was Queen Victoria the first queen to have a Christmas tree in a royal residence? Which king first ate turkey at Christmas?
And how have other cultures and empires left their mark on Christmas today?
These and many more questions are answered in 'Christmas Past', a festive look at the development of Christmas throughout the ages.
