Medieval Records - For Family and Local Historians

Have you ever wondered how to get back beyond Parish Registers or just what Medieval Records are? Then we share the same thoughts and that's exactly why we have arranged this special day.

If you have been researching for a while or are just curious then join us for our first dedicated Lecture Day. The presentations commence at 10.00 am running through to 4.30 pm with a break across lunch time.

Let us introduce you to new sources; give you some idea how to use and read them; understand how people looked after themselves in terms of food and health; and hear about a reconstructed Medieval Family. Every speaker is keen to encourage and help family and local history researchers.

These are the topics and their Lecturers:-
