SUMMARY:Annual Conference and AGM: In the Time of the Tapestry: Aspects of England on the Eve of the Conquest
DESCRIPTION:The arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry in London and political events closer to our own time remind us that regime changes have massive impacts on countries’ populations. We hear about the politics\, but what was life actually like in England in the lead up to the Battle of Hastings?  We hope to give a flavour of it in this year’s conference\, at a new venue which we hope you will enjoy. \nThe conference will explore the late Anglo-Saxon period from various viewpoints and we have gathered together some of the south’s leading experts to help us: \nProfessor Ryan Lavelle will expound on the state of the country prior to the Norman invasion \nDr Rob Webley\, an expert on medieval metalwork\, will use finds from the Portable Antiquities Scheme to illustrate daily life \nProfessor Emerita Barbara Yorke will highlight the the importance of the Church in everyday life \nDr Katherine Weikert will enlarge on what it was like to be living in medieval times \nOur own Mary Harris will talk about the Tapestry itself and reveal some surprises about its content and construction. \nImage: Harold Godwinson and his retinue at Bosham (W Sussex) in 1064.
