Some of the subjects covered and discussed included; The Augustinian Canons in Medieval England’ how the Priory fitted into a wider world, there was a bioarchaeological perspective of Mediaeval Lifeways followed by talks about the sculptures and floor tiles at the Priory and a presentation by TV Personality Tom Hall who talked about barbarism and religion, the prophesised end of the world in 801 and the Charlemagne new calendar.
