Finally every historic county has its own A-Z quiz! I found it hard to make Berkshire work for some reason, but here it is. The series isn't quite complete - some counties don't have questions for every letter yet and some overly difficult or obscure questions need changing - but this is as good a milestone as any. I've had a lot of fun making these quizzes over the past couple years and I've genuinely learned so much from the research that goes into them. Happy quizzing! And long live the historic counties.
