In November our speaker with be Professor Chris Dyer of Leicester University who will be talking about the medieval Gloucestershire peasantry.
The lecture will be based around Professor Dyer’s latest book: Peasants Making History published by OUP. This promises to give a fascinating insight into the lives of those in the lower echelons of society and how they related to their social superiors, neighbours and households and how they contributed to the shaping of society.
If you wish to attend in person, we are at the usual venue, St Andrew’s URC church hall, Montpellier St, Cheltenham GL50 1SP. Alternatively, the lecture will also be broadcast live via Zoom. Either way attendance remains free of charge for GlosArch members.
Sadly, since the Heritage Lottery Fund grant that supported last season’s lectures, has run out we are now having to charge for attendance. Each lecture will cost £5 to attend, which can be paid by bank transfer. To receive the GlosArch bank details, and be added to the circulation for the Zoom link, please email: [email protected]
Alternatively, for £15 you can join GlosArch. As a member all lectures are free to attend and, if you miss one, you will receive a link to the recordings of all lectures (if we are permitted by the lecturer to record them). You will also receive a copy of our annual journal, Glevensis, two newsletters per year and regular emails which often include details of other events that can be attended online. Should you live within reach of Gloucestershire, you will also be entitled to take part in our fieldwork activities.
