We’re excited to announce the publication of our Annual Report, including an interview with President Iestyn Davies MBE, a summary of our lecture series and casework.

It’s been a great year for York Georgian Society and we hope members enjoy reading about our progress!

Thanks to the Patrick Nuttgens award from York Georgian Society, I was able to travel to Vendée last week. I visited their departmental archives which hold an extensive collection relating to one of my memoirists 📚 I’m so grateful I had this opportunity 🫶
