Paul delivered our talk on the history of Icecream this evening. From the iced desserts of Ancient Rome to the disgusting Penny Licks of the Victorian era. From wartime restrictions to the chimes of the Icecream van in more recent years. #WorcestershireHour

We visited our friends at St John's Church, Worcester this afternoon. Paul delivered his talk on Worcester in the Medieval period. The layout of Worcester has not changed dramatically. It's surprising how much of this period still survives today. #WorcestershireHour

380yrs ago the Battle of Naseby was fought. It involved the New Model Army, formed by Fairfax and Cromwell. This was a new Parliament Army. It is worth remembering that local men served and died in Sir William Russell's Regiment of Foote. #WorcestershireHour

110 years ago today, the VAD (Voluntary Aid Detachment) Hospital opened Hartlebury Castle. During the Centenary of the Great War, we brought the Hospital to life. We were even filmed playing croquet and singing with Vesta Tilley! The Great War is still a big part of our work.
