Wickhampton church is delighted that Imogen is able to join them, once again, when she will be examining the reality of manners and etiquette in the later medieval period.
A far cry from the popular image of appalling table manners, medieval dining was a minefield of dos and dont’s, many of which were recorded in courtesie books (Teach yourself how to be a Gentleman texts). Because so many biblical stories involve dining – Balshazzar’s feast, the marriage at Cana and the Last Supper, to name but a few – a rich vein of artistic evidence also survives, bearing out what is written.
Church café will be open for refreshments.
