A wonderful piece. You say you are not an historian--but everything we do is affected by history. The rich history of this place informs these poems, but whatever we write has culture in it--culture is accumulated history. I got my undergraduate degree in history, so I really appreciate the journey you take us through. History connects us all--as I read I remembered that some of my ancestors left England in the 1600s because they were dissenters. Their history became, in a way, a part of this piece. Good going @raj808

> but everything we do is affected by history. The rich history of this place informs these poems, but whatever we write has culture in it--culture is accumulated history.<br> Very true @agmoore... if I'm honest about it, what I should have said is that I don't usually enjoy writing history posts like this but I did enjoy this one. Maybe my tastes are developing to enjoy the research side of things a little more :-) I'm glad you enjoyed this and it is gratifying that a History graduate liked it, as it convinces me that I didn't gloss over things too much ;-) I was convinced at one point that I hadn't gone into enough detail but then I thought, local history is quite niche so I'll keep it a little more general.
