Description | Lincoln U3A's History group concentrated for several years on the mediaeval period. Each member chose a subject for their own research and shared their findings with the group. Topics included St.Hugh of Avalon, Richard III, Stephen and Matilda, Magna Carta and the Wars of the Roses. The City of Lincoln provided a good hunting ground for visits - including the Cathedral and Castle, The Bishop's Palace, the Jews House and St.Mary's Guildhall. Visits of mediaeval kings to Lincoln and meetings of Parliament in Lincoln Chapter House were topics for group research. |
