NEW history courses are coming to Tollesbury this autumn term.

Courses offered by WEA Tiptree and Tollesbury are running online in September and October.

The first course will explore the history of our parliament and its relationship with the royal family, from 1700 through to the present day.

This will be taught by Roger Cooke and starts on Wednesday, September 15.

Plants, Politics and Economics is the second course with Andy Beharell, who will examine one plant a week and look at its history, impact on the economy, and the effect it has had on shaping the world today.

The course starts on Tuesday, October 5 and runs for ten weeks.

These courses are online, so people can enjoy them from the comfort of their own home.
