Subject: How to read the English Country Church – the Pre-Christian to the Tudors
Speaker: REVD DR NICHOLAS HENDERSON
It is possible to ‘read’ the passage of time, movements, cultures and peoples in the architecture and art forms evident in many of our English country churches. This lecture takes us through the pre-Christian era, the arrival of the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans and onwards to the sixteenth century and the epoch changing Tudor period.
