This year’s annual lecture evening will feature three talks that focus on the Anglo-Saxon Minsters of Winchester, to celebrate our new book (forthcoming).
The book, which has been beautifully illustrated by Simon Hayfield will bring to life as never before the long-lost Anglo-Saxon Cathedral, the burial church of English kings.
