He has also written books on the subject of the longbow.  Over the years, Robert Hardy has played a huge range of parts on television and film but his most famous role was as Siegfried Farnon in the long-running All Creatures Great and Small. 

Workshops for the conference include:

• How to get on at the Georgian Court: Tips on self promotion, flirtation and etiquette in the ‘Age of Scandal' - Lucy Worsley
• Connected histories: Doing British history on the internet - Professor Robert Shoemaker
• Plus tours of Sheffield Cathedral, the Local Studies Library and Sheffield Archives.   

Our Round Table Debate this year asks: Does Content Matter? Is knowledge important? If so, what knowledge and why? Last year provided a lively discussion on the importance of history. Listen to the podcasts on our website.
