Self publishing historian mostly on 18th century Britain. Books on wife selling, machines of the Enlightenment, and much more. New book The Great Flood of 1607 published on 2 September. Love photography, churchcrawling, curiosity
Many were skilled in trades this country needed. Mariners, scientific instrument makers, ship builders, carvers, painters, architects, silk weavers. But many anglicised their names so have left no trace. Le Roy became King. Their flight held back France in these areas so an act of national self harm
