Dr Cindy Wood is the Chair of the Friends of Clarendon Palace and a retired lecturer in Medieval history at the University of Winchester. This talk will consider the development and importance of the royal palace of Clarendon, just outside the city, both before and after the 1227 city charter.
This was the third most important medieval royal site in the thirteenth century, after Windsor and Westminster, and all the medieval kings were visitors. This talk will explain the site’s importance both locally and nationally, until it left royal hands in the ring of Charles II.
This event is accessible via lift or stairs.
