# Event Details - **Event Name**: Through the Windows of an Ordinary House (VCH Lecture) - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 13 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 13 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join author and historian Dr Ian Mortimer on a journey through English history as seen through a single, ordinary building.About this EventJoin Dr Ian Mortimer on a journey through English history as seen through a single, ordinary building as he ponders how history would look from one consistent point of view?Our national history is a patchwork quilt of stories – the North in the Industrial Revolution, the London of Samuel Pepys’s diary, and so on, but from the perspective of one building; local interests would be blended with national ones, and social and political history would appear indistinguishable. Some things would loom larger; others would appear locally less significant. We would see our past differently.This talk is an experiment along these lines. It draws from the forthcoming book in which Dr Mortimer examines how life would have appeared to the people who lived in his house in Moretonhampstead, on the edge of Dartmoor, from the Middle Ages to now. It shows the importance of not dividing local and national history, nor separating social and political developments, but seeing every aspect of life in concert, to gain the fullest picture.Dr Ian Mortimer is a historian and author of the Sunday Times bestselling Time Traveller's Guides - to Medieval England, Elizabethan England, Restoration Britain and Regency Britain, as well as four critically acclaimed medieval biographies, a prize-winning novel and several other titles.This talk is the annual Victoria County History lecture held at The Museum of Somerset. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/792745b0-a7ed-11f0-9b61-01506e54cb67-rimg-w1008-h740-dccd0102-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/taunton/through-the-windows-of-an-ordinary-house-vch-lecture/100001741826101759 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, concerts, music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fthrough-the-windows-of-an-ordinary-house-vch-lecture-tickets-1741826101759 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 10, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Taunton - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Museum of Somerset - **lat**: 51.015638 - **long**: -3.104593 - **full address**: Museum of Somerset, Castle Green, Taunton, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: South West Heritage Trust (https://allevents.in/org/south-west-heritage-trust/17704957) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ef0c63b42b6cfd78461b2b570dfbf2be08a78dcf30218284875a2bce06558a57-rimg-w1200-h802-dc8e7a5e-gmir.jpg?v=1760429418 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1c5015743ac370646a8dee0ecd413187139c5a0e324ae394a632f61ae45efc0f-rimg-w400-h400-dc8e795e-gmir.jpg?v=1760429417 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 13 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Museum of Somerset, Castle Green, Taunton, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 5 up to 10 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** South West Heritage Trust - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, concerts, music, entertainment - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Through the Windows of an Ordinary House (VCH Lecture) ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Through the Windows of an Ordinary House (VCH Lecture)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ef0c63b42b6cfd78461b2b570dfbf2be08a78dcf30218284875a2bce06558a57-rimg-w1200-h802-dc8e7a5e-gmir.jpg?v=1760429418", "startDate": "2025-11-13", "endDate": "2025-11-13", "url": "https://allevents.in/taunton/through-the-windows-of-an-ordinary-house-vch-lecture/100001741826101759", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Museum of Somerset", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Castle Green", "postalCode": "TA1 4AA", "addressLocality": "Taunton", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.015638", "longitude": "-3.104593" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join author and historian Dr Ian Mortimer on a journey through English history as seen through a single, ordinary building.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-13", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "5.00", "highPrice": "10.00", "price": "5.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/taunton/through-the-windows-of-an-ordinary-house-vch-lecture/100001741826101759" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/taunton/through-the-windows-of-an-ordinary-house-vch-lecture/100001741826101759", "price": "10.00", "name": "General Admission Adults" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/taunton/through-the-windows-of-an-ordinary-house-vch-lecture/100001741826101759", "price": "5.00", "name": "General Admission Students" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "South West Heritage Trust ", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/south-west-heritage-trust/17704957" } ] } ] ```
