# Event Details - **Event Name**: Through the Windows of an Ordinary House: A History of England - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Dr Ian Mortimer investigates how the history of England would have appeared to those who lived in his house from Saxon times to the present.About this EventOur national history is a patchwork quilt of stories – the North in the Industrial Revolution, the London of Samuel Pepys’s diary, and so on. How would it look if it were written from one point of view? And what if that point of view were here in Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor?Dr Ian Mortimer has spent the last few years writing an experimental book, “Through the Windows of an Ordinary House - A History of England” showing how the national story differs hugely according to where you were living. He looks at how the history of England would have appeared to the people who lived in his house (and previous houses on the site) since Saxon times. It is hoped that the end result will be nothing less than ‘a glimpse of a thousand years’.As a prelude to publication in September, this is an illustrated introduction to the house itself and the people who lived in it since the thirteenth century, together with a view of the origins of the settlement.If you are a member of the Exeter Local History Society, tickets are free for you - please select a £0 ticket when registering for the event.
