Medieval Section Lecture – November 9th 2019

2pm at Swarthmore

Our speaker will be Dr Kate Giles, from the University of York

Shakespeare’s Guildhall, Stratford upon Avon

In this lecture, Kate will speak about her recent project at Stratford upon Avon, where she has been researching the history and archaeology of a complex of fifteenth century guild buildings, subsequently converted into Shakespeare’s School and recently the subject of a £1.4 million HLF project to open the building up to the public. Come and find out about Shakespeare’s medieval inheritance and hopefully be encouraged to visit the building yourself.
