Welcome to Dorset, Claire! From all at SDNQ.

SDNQ benefits hugely our from the wide and diverse range of specialisms and interests of our Editorial Board, so we've put together a summary of the projects they were involved with in 2024 and what they have planned for 2025. Happy reading! sdnq.org.uk/sdnq-news/news…

The March 2025 issue of SDNQ is packed with fascinating articles, including tales of misspent student years at Oxford in 1750s, a 1553 property dispute at Huntingford, a 15th cent statuette of the Virgin & Child, & the spiriting of maidens to Virginia sdnq.org.uk/sdnq-news/marc…
