2022 Programme

Tours

6-14 April 2022: Cathedrals of England
Martin Randall Travel
Nine days, ten extraordinary buildings, top-notch hotels and restaurants. Not cheap, but quite an experience: I’ve had people describe it as ‘life-changing’, and ‘one of the best things I’ve ever done’! MRT are leaders in their field, and you get me as a lecturer/guide throughout.

Martin Randall Travel. Ely, Norwich, Castle Acre, Lavenham, Long Melford and more. The perfect introduction to the rich story of place, architecture and history in England.

Repeat of the May itinerary.

Dayschools

I, greatly helped by Liz Cooper, am organising three dayschools. On 21 May 2022 we will explore a group of north Wiltshire churches; the others, in the autumn, will be on Winchester cathedral (+ St Cross Hospital); and Gloucester cathedral (+ Deerhurst priory), dates TBC.

I will also organise another tour of Oxfordshire churches to former students of my OUDCE online course on cathedral architecture (see below); that will take place in the Autumn, I hope.

Talks and lectures

To the Arts Societies of Cerne, Tonbridge, Pewsey, Wantage and Malmesbury; and to the Marshfield Historical Society.

Teaching and writing

I also tutor the Oxford University Department of Continuing Education course on English Medieval Cathedral Architecture (https://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/architecture-of-the-english-medieval-cathedral-online), which I wrote.

My book, Stones of Britain: Geology and History in the English Landscape will be published early next year.
