Professor Brian Kemp memorial lecture

Spring lecture

The Spring lecture will this year be delivered by Dr Adrian Ailes, who will be speaking on The Heraldry of Reading Abbey and its Legacy. This will be the inaugural Professor Brian Kemp Memorial Lecture, in memory of our late President and co-founder who died in August 2019. The date has been chosen due to its proximity to Brian's birthday, 25 March (Lady Day). The lecture will start at 2.30pm.

In the light of continuing lockdown restrictions on public gatherings, this will be a virtual event held via Zoom. Nearer to the time, the Secretary will send out a Zoom invite to all members with an email contact, and they will be welcome to join and listen. If anyone who is not a member of the Friends would like to hear the Zoom lecture, please email a request for an invitation to the Friends' Secretary at: secretary@readingabbey.org.uk
