15-StP [For adults] The Nabobs of Berkshire illustrated talk by Clive Williams: Founded in 1600 the Honourable East India Company played an important part in British life until its dissolution after the Indian Mutiny. Most of the merchants and soldiers who served 'John Company' met early graves but a few prospered and returned home very wealthy men. Berkshire, known as 'the English Hindoostan' in the C18th, attracted more of these wealthy 'Nabobs' as they were known, than anywhere else in the British Isles and Bracknell Forest Borough attracted more Nabobs than anywhere else in Berkshire. Clive Williams spent 10 years researching their history and has now written the book.
