Ruth Herman - The Little Book of Hertfordshire

Join Ruth Herman as she explains that Hertfordshire is full of stories! Hertfordshire was once home to saints such as St Alban, St Thomas More and the only English Pope, Nicholas Breakspear. Such virtuous figures pose a sharp contrast to those involved in the Hertford elections of time gone by, which were once declared the most corrupt in the country!
Ruth will tell us about Elizabeth I and Henry the VIII and their connections to Hertfordshire.
In fact, there are so many tales to be told about this amazing county, that you'll just have to come along and let Ruth tell you herself.

Ruth Herman had a career in PR and as a University lecturer.

Now an author and historian, she loved to make history engaging. Her first book, The Incredibly Biased Beer Guide, won a Guild of British Beer Writers prize. Her most recent book was Grub Street: The Origins of the British Press.

She naturally lives in Hertfordshire - There would be trouble if she didn't!
