The Little History of Derbyshire

The Little History of Derbyshire will take you from Ice Age rock art and woolly mammoths on a chronological journey through Bronze Age stone circles, Roman forts, medieval churches, stately homes and the Industrial Revolution to bouncing bombs and jet engines. Meet the men and women who shaped the landscape, Mary Queen of Scots, the formidable Bess of Hardwick, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Jacobites and revolutionaries, scientists, architects and artists. Derbyshire is a county full of evocative places peopled by men and women with an indomitable spirit.
