Series: Little History of

The story of Nottinghamshire and its people.

From prehistory to present times, Nottinghamshire has seen Romans, marauding Danes, barons, rebel armies, kings, radicals and industrialists. The county is home to hand-carved caves, Sherwood Forest, more than forty monastic houses, a medieval 'dance of death', mansions, workhouses, and pumping stations. Robin Hood, the 'mad, bad and dangerous to know' poet Lord Byron, Scrooby's Pilgrim Fathers, four regicides, Jesse Boot the chemist, D.H. Lawrence, and the composer of the Dam Busters March all lived here.

The medieval wool trade was superseded by coal, gypsum and textiles including Nottingham's famous lace industry. John Player's tobacco and Raleigh bicycles were based here. Home to dukes, princes and playboys as well as dissenters, revolutionaries, pioneers and Olympians, the people of Nottinghamshire have seen it all.
