He is followed by Dr Todd Gray, author of dozens of books including two titles published last year about the history of the British empire in Exeter.
In the afternoon John Allan will speak about The Cloisters of Exeter Cathedral and Dr Richard Batten about A Loyal and Faithful City? Exeter during the Great War.
