NEXT LECTURE
I WILL LIFT
MINE EYES
by John Swainston
Please join us for the next lecture in the series
In I Will Lift Mine Eyes, John traces the spread of Christianity from the Mediterranean to Britain. He covers Augustine’s mission, early Saxon churches, the Norman transition, and the peak of cathedral building in England and Wales. He discusses architectural breakthroughs, construction challenges (including tower collapses, fires, and lightning), and how church and royal power influenced the design of these significant medieval structures.

LECTURE STARTS AT 6 pm.
