Adrian Tinniswood OBE: Lecture, Book Signing, Reception

Adrian Tinniswood OBE is a distinguished British social historian, writer and lecturer, whose passion for architecture and history began when he took up the task of researching and writing the history of Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire, a historic house owned by Britain’s National Trust.  Mr. Tinniswood has written eleven books including, By Permission of Heaven: The Story of the Great Fire of London, & The Verneys: A True Story of Love, War and Madness in 17th-Century England (shortlisted for the BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction).

The Rainborowes: One Family’s Quest to Build a New England
In the tumultuous decades between 1630 and 1660, a scrappy string of Massachusetts settlements quickly blossomed into a network of established colonies with their own distinctive social, economic and religious culture, while across the Atlantic England was brought to its knees by a bloody civil war that rent the fabric of English social, political and religious life. At the center of this turbulent time was one remarkable family: the Rainborowes.
