Byron in Nottinghamshire-Ravenshead Library-Adult Learning

About this course

Take a  look at the poet Lord Byron’s connections to Nottinghamshire. We explore why, as a boy, he first came to Nottingham, and explore his links with Newstead, Annesley, Southwell, Newark and Hucknall.

No previous knowledge is needed.
