many ways of setting out the history of a place, but perhaps the most
meaningful is using the dynasties which ruled

us up to 1066

and Matilda (1066 -1154)
Plantagenet - From Henry II to the Battle of Bosworth (1154 -
1485)
Tudor - from Bosworth to the death of Queen Elizabeth (1485 -
1603)
Stuart - from James I to Queen Anne (1603-1714)
Georgian - The time of the first three Georges and King
William (1714-1830)
Modern - from Edward VII to the end of the 2nd millennium
(1901-1999)
