The View from Knowsley

This month a conference entitled ‘The view from Knowsley’ will be held at the ancestral home of the earls of Derby, Knowsley Hall. Its intention is to offer fresh interpretations of the history of the Conservative Party, as well as of the development of modern British foreign policy. Organised by members of the School of History at the University of East Anglia, and held under the auspices of the recently formed Conservative History Group, the conference will bring together historians, politicians and those interested in political history for a two-day discussion of some neglected themes in Conservative history.
