The Medieval Parish Churches of England
Monday 19 April 2021, 7.00pm to 9.00pm
Speaker(s): Karen Brett BA MA PhD
Parish churches were being built, extended and rebuilt throughout the medieval period. Was their development due to a desire to keep up with the latest architectural fashions or was it simply a consequence of increasing parishioner numbers? And most importantly, who was paying for it all? Together we will address these questions by examining both historical documents and the standing buildings themselves.

Term: Summer
Day: Monday (No classes will take place on Bank Holidays)
Start Date: 19 April 2021
Time: 7-9pm

The Cistercians and their Yorkshire Monasteries (second cohort)
Saturday 8 May 2021, 2.00pm to 5.00pm
Speaker(s): Cristina Figueredo BA MA PhD
After the Norman Conquest of England, there was an explosion of monastic foundations throughout the country. Yorkshire, in particular, witnessed the revival of monasticism. Between the 11th and the 16th centuries, monasteries became an integral part of the social, economic, and cultural landscape. This course will explore the history of Cistercian monasteries in Yorkshire, from their foundation to their dissolution. The course will study both the magnificent buildings and the lives of medieval monks, nuns, and donors.

Medieval Monastic Buildings: Their Design, Use and LocationView details
Hopefully at some time in the summer we will be able to go out and visit historic sites. One type of site which is most likely to be open to visitors is the ruined abbey or priory. In this course we will grow in our knowledge of what these ruins represent - what type of buildings they were and how they were used and lived in. Using specific examples in England we will explore the history of these building which were so prolific in the landscape in the middle ages, and pinpoint the ones which were near to where we live. Armed with our studies we will then be able to visit and understand these ruins.
