The Archaeology of Norwich, 1066-1536

North Sea during the medieval period

Last week we were very pleased to welcome the archaeologist and author, Brian Ayers, to speak to us. He delivered a presentation about the archaeology of Norwich in the period between the Norman Conquest and the beginning of the Reformation. As ever, Brian was authoritative and entertaining and everyone was immensely impressed with his scholarship and eloquence. This feeling was summed up by History Club member, Maggie, who said:

"Yesterday's talk was absolutely illuminating. He's such a good speaker. That's where years of practice get you!'

Indeed!
