The Little History of Nottinghamshire

From prehistory to present times, Nottinghamshire has seen Romans, marauding Danes, barons, rebel armies, kings, radicals and industrialists. 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.
