The next meeting will take place on Thursday 8th November at 7.30pm in Middridge Village Hall.
The talk is entitled “Safe Sanctuaries” and will be conducted by Dr. Richard Pears. From the Vikings to the Border Reivers, the Civil War to the Nazis, Churches have provided refuge and warning.
In this illustrated talk, Richard will highlight the features and functions built into churches to protect the people of Northern England from invasion by foreign foes.
Everyone is most welcome. Light refreshments are provided.
