Pembridge Medieval Festival
Looking ahead into May. This is for anyone who is out and about in the Welsh Marches on the Bank Holiday weekend on 24th and 25th May. The Leominster Medieval Society is holding a living history camp in the lovely blakc and white village of Pembridge in Herefordshire.
Here is their poster to tempt you to come along.
And possibly even more tempting I will be speaking about medieval women and my Mortimer novel A Court of Betrayal in Pembridge Church at 11.am on the Saturday Morning.What better place to choose, where Roger Mortimer and Johane de Geneville were married at the church door.
Do come along to hte Church of St Mary the Virgin on Saturday 25th May if you can.
I will be there, even if Roger and Joan can only be present in spirit.
Memories of Talk in Pembridge on Saturday 25th May.
What a lovely morning I spent in the Church in Pembridge on Saturday 25th May 2024 to talk about medieval women and Joan de Geneville, wife of Roger Mortimer. Some atmospheric images here.
Perfect atmosphere in the Church of St Mary the Virgin.(Joan and Roger were married there in 1301).
Perfect Audience who seemed to enjoy it and asked questions!
The medieval dancers arrived to entertain us all.
And so did the bagpiper from the Medieval Festival.
And Rossiter Books of course with copies of A Court of Betrayal.
Lovely to see some of the audience in historical costume from the Pembridge Medieval Village day. Thanks to all in Pembridge who made this possible. And my thanks to Rossiters Bookshop who came along to support me and sold copies of A Court of Betrayal.
An excellent day was had by all!
Talk at Church of St James at Wigmore
Bringing Medieval Women to Life.
I will be talking about bringing medieval women to life and particularly the medieval Mortimers at Wigmore Castle and Ludlow Castle.
