After the victory at Agincourt, also #otd in 1415, he was made patron of the royal dynasty by Henry V
The final event in #Beverley1300 is underway. A great audience of Beverloanians plus members of @histassoc from Hull have flocked @StMarysBeverley to hear @AnneAgincourt speak about Henry V’s visit to Beverley 600 years ago. The post festival drinks are ready to go!
At the festival service of Holy Communion in @Bev_Minster this morning, an oak tree from @bevtowncouncil & Beverley Civic Soc to mark #Beverley1300 was dedicated. @LibDemLinda sprinkled it with water. See the livestream: https://t.co/8wLrqz94Fh
Good morning from a gloriously sunny Beverley. For his ‘My Journeyman Years’ talk, master stonemason David Switalla has brought along three colleagues who are currently serving their own journeyman years. Talk begins at 11am.
So 2 pictures from today, we min to go before my talk and the aftermath... the audience seemed to enjoy it, lots of questions afterwards which is always good @1300Beverley. Also got to meet another @thewattclub member!
View from the back @StMarysBeverley at our beer talk & tasting. @DrJEngland kicks off with some history on brewing, showcasing one of the church’s magnificent Tudor roof bosses - the Ale Wife. The bosses are the focus of a major heritage project supported @HeritageFundUK.
So good to see Mary Dawson’s splendid 1938 painting of St Mary’s in the Guildhall as we follow in the footsteps of St John for the #Beverley1300 pilgrimage trail. Do pop in - it’s open especially for the festival today.
