Society Lecture: Benefitting the Soul, Life, Religion and the Church in Late Medieval Huntingdonshire – Joanne Sear @ Methodist Church, Huntingdon
Apr 10 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Wednesday 10th April: Huntingdon Methodist Church – Joanne Sear: Beniffiting the Soul – Life, Religion and the Church in Late Medieval Huntingdonshire.

Studies have suggested that during the Hennrician Reformation the prople of Lincoln Diocese, incuding the Archdeaconry of Huntingdon, held firm to the ‘Old Faith’, and were reluctant supporters of the new form of Christianity.

This talk surveys religion in late medieval society and examines the evidence, suggesting the people of Huntingdonshire truly embraced Catholicism

The talk is open to non members, but we ask for a small donation of £3 per guest to help with support of the costs of the evening.

After the talk please join us for tea and coffee and the chance to talk with the speaker and catch up with other members of the Society

The Society will conduct the AGM, agenda to be issued to all members near the date.

The AGM will be followed by a talk from Chris Close, Chairman of the Colyweston Historical Society, an amateur group with very few resources, found the lost palace of Margaret Beaufort.

For generations the people of Collyweston were told of a lost Tudor Palace that used to house Kings and Queens of England. Was this a myth or a real Palace. However, in 2018 Collyweston Historical Society started a renewed phase of work to find the Palace and after completing over 12 months of investigative work they were able to announce that they had finally found the lost Tudor Palace of Collyweston.

The talk is open to non members, but we ask for a small donation of £3 per guest to help with support of the costs of the evening.

After the talk please join us for tea and coffee and the chance to talk with the speaker and catch up with other members of the Society
