Organisers - The Centre for Heritage and Family History, 2nd Floor, Reading Central Library, Abbey Square, Reading RG1 3BQ
This is an online talk using Zoom technology.
‘Why do you need a bum roll?’ ‘What colour were carrots in the seventeenth century?’ ‘Can you think of 47 uses for urine?’ Supplying the answers to the above (well, maybe not all 47 uses), this talk is a light-hearted but informative insight into the domestic life of our seventeenth century ancestors.
Our speaker, Dr Janet Few, is an experienced and qualified family, social and community historian who lectures regularly on these subjects throughout the UK and overseas.
Pre-booking is required, because the Zoom event link will be sent in advance.
