The Royal Historical Society ~ Eighteenth Warwick Symposium on Parish Records

To be held on Saturday 7th November 2020 - 10.00am-6.00pm GMT
This year the theme of remembrance is addressed and very broadly defined.
In five panels dedicated to ‘Buildings’, ‘Communities’, ‘Records’, ‘Revolution’ and ‘Environments’, speakers from four countries explore aspects of material culture and natural settings, local commemorative cultures, various types of primary evidence and the long-term repercussions of moments of change from the Middle Ages to the present.
