The cup that cheers : tea before Victoria
We are all familiar with the concept of afternoon tea, developed during the reign of Queen Victoria. This talk describes the social and legal changes that had to take place in the 17th and 18th century before tea achieved its role as Britain’s national drink.
This talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society and we request a donation of £5 from non-members.
