My father, Jeremy Goring, who has died aged 93, spent 20 years teaching mid-16th century Tudor history at Goldsmiths, University of London, ultimately becoming dean of humanities there before taking early retirement in 1987.
While at Goldsmiths he was a pioneer of “history on the ground”, a hands-on approach to teaching local and regional (rather than national) history that involved taking students all over the south-east of England to sites of historical interest in a college minibus.
