Coffee Morning: The good ol’ days…

Let’s take it back to Merrie Olde England

Grab a cuppa, a cake, and let’s chat.

But remember to sign up for the good stuff!

Been thinking: We talk a lot—okay, more than a lot; almost always—about medieval England here at Churches & their Naughty Bits. But while William the Conqueror’s victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 signalled the beginning of the medieval era, one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in history, what was life actually like for the country folk attending our parish churches up and down “Merry/Merrie Olde England”? Let’s find out with another Did You Know!
