Derby History Talks and Guided Walking Tours

with local historian Jon Grattidge

Talks and walks from Bonnie Prince Charlie to the Victorians

Illustrated talks and guided walks on Georgian and Victorian Derby, from the Jacobite army’s arrival in 1745 to the churches and streets of the old West End. Everyone is welcome: come on your own, bring a friend, or book Jon for your group.

“Hello, I’m Jon. I’m a local historian, and my family have lived in Derby since 1635. I’d be very happy to show you around!”
