Lewes is a little town is Sussex that happens to have many claims to historical fame. Today we try to cover a few of these, culminating in a macabre record that was set in 1836 during the Christmas Holidays. It also happens to have been only 7 miles from where my Guest Host lived for 3 years... There is a chance he might actually guess this one. Guest Host: Jack Heathcote <hr> Hosted on Acast.

The Lewes Avalanche - A lot happens in this town so why not drop in?

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
