Local tour guide and author, Martin Brisland, will launch his sixth book on Thursday 24 April.
The event take place at Waterstones bookshop in The Hundred, Romsey from 7pm, and tickets are available on Eventbrite via waterstones.com/events.
“Despite growing up just outside Romsey and thinking I really knew the town, my research revealed many facts and stories I did not know,” explains Martin.
“The large country house of Broadlands was built on the abbey’s land after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and became home to Prime Minister Palmerston in the nineteenth century and later Lord Mountbatten.
“In the A–Z of Romsey, readers will discover tales of science and innovation, lifeboats and brewing, honeymooning royalty, presidents, and politicians among many other fascinating facts.”
The book can be obtained from Amberley Publishing, Waterstones, WH Smith, Amazon and similar online retailers.
