This wide ranging and comprehensive lecture by Dr. Montgomery on Bath was most enjoyable and informative starting from the very earliest days when it was part of the Roman Empire throughout the centuries to the modern day. It makes me want to visit more than ever.
Very well done and interesting. Makes me want to return to Bath.
I found this seminar very motivating and plan to visit Bath as a consequence. I found Dr. Montgomery seminar, as always, informative as well as entertaining. He is an excellent communicator.
