History Study Day
A Study Day (open to all) will be be held in St Mary's Parish Church, Barnard Castle on Saturday 20th April 2024.
The day will consist of four talks -
David Santiuste is a historian of late medieval Britain and teaching fellow in history and humanities at the Centre for Open Learning, University of Edinburgh. He will be speaking on “‘A Very Great Lord’: The Life and Reputation of Henry Beaufort, Duke of Somerset.”
Dr Tim Sutherland is visiting Lecturer at the University of York with a number of articles on Battlefield and Conflict Archaeology. His talk is ‘Comparing the skeletal evidence of RIII’s death with other medieval weapon trauma’.
Ian and Carol Schubert are longstanding members of the Cleveland late medieval re-enactment group ‘Rosa Mundi’. They will be giving a practical demonstration of how a knight is dressed from head to toe in full medieval harness (armour).
Philippa Langley MBE is the founder of the Looking for Richard project which led to the discovery and re-interment of Richard’s remains in 2012 and 2015. She will be speaking on the Missing Princes Project and its discoveries since 2017.
The day runs from 9.30am- 4.30pm, with 90 minutes free for lunch: a buffet lunch is available at the church for £10. Tickets for the Study Day itself are £25 for adults and £20 for those in full-time education (or current members of the Northern Dales RIII Group).

In addition it is worth searching the main webpage for durham.ac.uk and look for events. Most of the individual academic departments have their own lecture and seminar series.

Sunderland University
As usual, there are a number of lectures and events advertised on the Sunderland website, but it seems that most are aimed at students and academics. I cannot see anything that is open to the general public apart from a celebration of the Lunar New Year on 20th January.
