The Allen Grove Local History Fund: Grants
Congratulations to our member Dr. Joan Thirsk, on receiving the CBE. The award is in recognition of her services to Agrarian and Local history. Dr. Thirsk is well known both as the General editor of the Agrarian History of England, which runs into many volumes, and as a pioneer of Local History studies. Those of us of 'a certain age' remember that it is only in recent years that Local History has become an acknowledged academic subject and Dr. Thirsk regards the award as a recognition of the value and widespread enjoyment of this branch of learning.
