The Great Storm of 1703 struck southern England and Wales on the night of the 25th November 1703.
It would leave over 10,000 dead in its wake, and 13 Royal Navy warships destroyed, including the whole channel squadron just when England was at war with France.
Even the monarch, Queen Anne had to flee before its fury.

And whilst the Storm of 1987 was actually more powerful, the loss of life was negligible compared to this almost biblical storm 300 years ago.

My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.

History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.

My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"

Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.
