Monday 23 6pm ‘Norman Art and Architecture in North Herefordshire’ Rob Walker will bring the Norman heritage of the area to life in his talk based on his new booklet (launch). £5
Architectural historian Robert Walker will explore Norman art, including the Herefordshire School of Romanesque Sculpture, in the context of the Norman influence in the region and the parochia of Leominster Priory. The Normans already had a significant presence in north Herefordshire, which became the centre of power of the Mortimers, before the Priory was refounded. Their influence and wealth nurtured an important school of sculptors whose work is found at the Priory and several of the churches in his booklet. His new booklet, ‘The Normans in and around Leominster’ will be launched at this event.
