Friday 26 April – Sunday 28 April | Augustine House & Hall, Rhodaus Town, Canterbury, CT1 2YA

The Medieval Canterbury Weekend is organized by the Centre for Kent History & Heritage at Canterbury Christ Church University, with a programme of 19 talks and hallmark guided visits. Among the speakers coming to Canterbury were Dr Marc Morris, Dr Janina Ramirez, Professor Chris Woolgar, Professor Louise Wilkinson and Professor Mark Bailey.

Audiences heard from experts about a wide range of topics including what we know about the rebels who followed Jack Cade, what it was like to live in a medieval urban house, why foliate heads (‘Green Man’ images) proliferate c. 1400 and what was the relationship between the Italian Renaissance and England.

As before, the organisers’ intention is to raise money for the Ian Coulson Memorial Postgraduate Award fund that continues to support postgraduates studying Kent history and archaeology projects. 

The bookshop supported the weekend with its regular bookstall and has signed copies of books by Dr Janina Ramirez, Dr Claire Martin and Dr Marc Morris for sale.
