Author Event: Robert Ashton in conversation with Prof. Colin Samson

Thursday, 6pm, 30th July In person event at Colchester Crematorium Chapel (finished by 7.30pm) Ticketing options are available with or without one or both books. Pre ordering books offers a saving otherwise books will be available on the evening at RRP The final chapter in Robert Ashton’s latest book Down to Earth sees him visit Colchester cemetery in search of his great-grandparents’ graves, so the cemetery and crematorium chapel is a fitting setting for what promises to be an intriguing talk about two of his books. Discover how almost forgotten ways are returning in rural East Anglia, and why it is vital that we relearn to respect the ground beneath our feet. Down To Earth, published in Hardback on 2nd July, RRP £16.99 We rely on the soil and its rich biodiversity for our food, traditions and folklore, but are we guilty of taking it for granted? In Down to Earth, Robert Ashton traces five centuries of human relationships with the soil, from farming and folklore to the modern environmental crisis. In so doing he reveals the wisdom of the gardeners, farmers, gravediggers, archaeologists and naturalists who work with it every day.
