Is my history the same as yours? Does it depend on where we live? How much of what is going on in the same town affect what we do; how much of what happens nationally is important in my or your memory of events? In a forthcoming book Dr Ian Mortimer (historian and writer author of The Time Travellers Guides to Medieval England) takes his house in Moreton to present a picture of how life would have appeared to the people who lived in it and previous houses on the site, since the Saxon conquest in the seventh century. It reaches from earthworms to empires and embraces walls that have endured seven hundred years and scraps of vellum that have lasted even longer.
This talk is being done as a fundraiser for St Nicholas Priory and is done without a fee to the speaker.
Ticket price includes complimentary drinks and refreshments.
