From 1233 to 1538 Reading had two religious foundations, Reading Abbey and the Reading Franciscan Friary. This talk tells the story of the medieval friary, its friars, and their relationship with the town. It ends with the dissolution under Henry VIII, leaving us just the Greyfriars Church building as a remnant of the past.
After the talk, tea/coffee and cake will be available (included in the price).
Pre-booking is preferred, but you can pay on the door, if there are spaces available.
2-3.30pm
