Meetings
For our November meeting Jeremy Prescott’s presentation The Miracle Flower – From Flanders to The Tower told the story of the Poppy and how it has become the symbol of remembrance for those killed in conflict. The meeting report will be available soon.
Our meeting, planned for Tuesday 14 December at Park Place, was regretfully postponed until Tuesday 10 May 2022 when we hope we will be able to enjoy the event, the venue and each other’s company.
Next meeting will be held on Zoom on 25th January 2022 when Dr Imogen Corrigan will present her talk The Men who Built the Cathedrals. Meet the Master Masons who both designed the buildings and ran the site. They commanded everything: sourcing the vast quantities of wood and stone, recruiting the workforce and knowing enough about their various trades to be able to create heaven on earth out of the cacophony of thousands of chisels and hammers.
Programme
