Walking history tour of Money & Power

5.00This tour is a history tour full of information covering thousands of years of trade, bonds and Bank of England history, mixed in with religious beliefs on money and the power of the money holders, plus Kings & Queens impact. If you enjoy historical fun facts around money, this is for you eg where the expression “the short end of the stick” came from.
