An overview
In 18th and 19th Century Northamptonshire there were those who benefited from trans-Atlantic slavery but also others who actively opposed it. This talk looks at the ways in which national responses to slavery were reflected in our own county.

His main historical interest is in modern social and political movements and their impact on local communities
