Dr Swain is a retired GP with experience of several spells of medical work overseas. She is also a member of the Antiquaries and has spoken at Members' Night. In this talk, she will address some of the issues surrounding our interest in local history and its role in the wider historical context. She will share stories of her times in East Yorkshire, Nigeria, Gaza and Albania and of how their local history has been linked with events nearer home.
