In the centre of Nottingham, hidden from sight, lies a rare Georgian town garden that was created in 1752 by Mary Howe, a direct descendant of King James I, and George Smith, of the famous Nottingham banking family. The garden is part of Grade 2*-listed Bromley House, now the home of a fabulous subscription library. Martin Stott will tell the story of Bromley House, the library and of the plans to restore its precious gem of a garden. Martin is a former BBC journalist who has made programmes for Radio 4 and the World Service from 21 countries. He is also a trustee of Bromley House Library.
