Event report: Whose Story, Whose Heritage? County, Country, and Beyond. 25 January, 2024 I’m pleased to write that the Lincolnshire Heritage Student Forum (LHSF) successfully hosted its first panel talk event in several months: ‘Whose Story, Whose Heritage?

Heather Hughes (Vice-Chair, LHF) Catherine Wilson has a lot of letters after her name: OBE, FSA, FMA, FRGS.
