It's the 400th episode of the Dewing Grain Podcast — and what better way to mark the occasion than a trip through history. Andrew is joined by Liz to dig into the Dewing family story, from the possibility that the Dewings traded grain with Coke of Holkham, to the extraordinary claim that they may have taught Lord Nelson to sail. Andrew also shares how the Dewings played a significant role in establishing the corn exchange in Norwich. Four hundred episodes in, and there's still plenty of story left to tell. Hosted on Acast.
