Also inside, we look at the Victorian vegetarians, an odd turn of events in the history of tithes, an engineering pioneer and more…

Don't forget our print editions too, packed with different articles: complete your set at the DYA website. And do start planning for next year's Family History Shows!

I hope you enjoy this issue.
