In this issue: the RAF’s bases in Worcestershire during World War II were perfectly placed to train pilots and aircrew; we explore their history and what remains of them today; we uncover the puzzles surrounding Shakespeare’s marriage; author Neville Billington recounts the story of the infamous Bromsgrove rail accident in November 1840 that saw two railwaymen lose their lives; 800 years after King John’s death, we look at whether he really was as nasty as everyone assumes, and how he ended up being buried in Worcester Cathedral; actor Edward Bennett walks and talks with theatre director, Emma Lucia; and with winter snapping at our heels and the cold beginning to bite, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, which welcomed more than 90,000 guests on its four ships last year, tells us why cruising could be the perfect tonic.

PLUS, The Archers, whose origins lie in the Worcestershire countryside, celebrates 65 years; the fascinating history of hops; composer Ian Venables on the marriage of words and music; the relaunch of the Great Western Railway; making medical history with Worcester's two medical museums; the history of one county school designed by an architectural pioneer; a look back at the national electric vehicle show held in Malvern in September; updating your living rooms to create the perfect winter home fit for hibernation; the history of mistletoe; the future of farming; the Worcester Warriors' story and lots more . . .
