I did economics, mainly history, but I'm doing a Ph.D in economic history from September, although I am not sure which University it will be at yet, but I will not be seeking employment as an economist, if thats what you're meaning.
There is a compulsory maths element, but its not that bad. I don't consider myself good at maths, although I am good at mental arithmetic, but the maths element shouldn't be a problem, and as mentioned, you can avoid most of it if you so wish. Level 2 economics has an 'introduction to mathematical economics' and 'data analysis' which both have maths elements. So you won't get away with doing no maths at all.
There is a degree in Economic History, which links the two together (i.e. wall street crash and the depression, the industrial revolution etc etc), which brings economics and applies it to important events of the 19th and 20th century. Even that has a compulsory computer project though, and you will be expected to understand graphs and trends, etc. All that said, the maths isn't bad- you can see where its going, i.e. if a company has two revenue sources, P1 and P2, and has profit margins of X and overheads of Y, work out various things. They don't expect you to have a higher or A-level in maths, unlike some BSc courses do, so evidently they think that most people should be able to cope.
