The Ann Fender Memorial Lecture
Thursday 17 November | 19.30
We are delighted to announce the second in our planned series of lectures dedicated to the memory of Ann Fender. Lady Ann Fender was a key member of Lichfield Cathedral Council, its Fundraising Coordination Group and champion of the Herkenrode Glass. Ann worked tirelessly to bring Lichfield Cathedral, and its remarkable architecture and treasures to public attention.
The second lecture, entitled: ‘The Lady of the Mercians, The Forgotten Story of the Making of England’ will be given by Michael Wood in the Cathedral Nave.
Michael Wood, historian, film maker and broadcaster, has made well over one hundred television documentaries, most recently the BBC's Story of China, and is the author of several highly praised books on English history. He is Professor of Public History at Manchester University and recently received the British Academy President’s Medal for services to history and to public outreach. This is a free event and open to all, but all donations will be very warmly received and gift-aid envelopes will be available on the night. We look forward to welcoming you. |
