Swindon Heritage

History Lessons: the making of Swindon Heritage magazine – with Frances
Bevan, Graham Carter and Mark Sutton. When three local historians and writers hatched a plan to launch a brand new glossy magazine, some of their peers thought they were mad.

However, a passion for their subject and the generosity of key supporters spurred them on – and Swindon Heritage was born. Today, its founders tell of the trials and tribulations of producing a magazine that breaks new ground, but also, why Swindon Heritage is ultimately a tale of triumph and optimism for local writers and publishers.
