About us
Aims and activities
The Medieval Section provides a lecture programme, an annual Journal ‘Medieval Yorkshire’ and, occasionally, other activities designed to appeal to those interested in the period spanning from Anglo-Saxon times to the sixteenth century.
We meet several times a year in locations throughout Yorkshire to visit medieval sites and to hear experts speak on the archaeology, history, architecture and landscape of the area in the Middle Ages.
Themes for past day schools have included industry, farming, crafts, town and country, trade, monasteries, arms manufacture, transport, site preservation, land tenure, the rich and the poor.
