Discover the colourful secrets behind a Victorian masterpiece in Bill Laws’ lively illustrated talk

The Herefordshire Pomona - edited by an unassuming country doctor and brought to life by the extraordinary illustrations of two largely forgotten women - has grown to become a celebrated ‘classic of late Victorian natural history’. Even Queen Victoria herself insisted on a copy for the royal library at Windsor.

In this richly illustrated talk, author Bill Laws uncovers the surprising and colourful history behind this remarkable book. Expect little-known stories, local intrigue and even a curious family connection with actor Michael Palin.

Discover the people, passion and quirky twists that shaped this masterpiece of pomological history. 🍎🍏📖
