The current clergy at St Stephen's Church think about what we can learn from their predecessor about living during a period of a disease for which there is not yet a cure.

We are going to be recording some of the scheduled Caister Talks and posting them here.
Delighted that @malcolmguite will also be recording a performance of his Songs and Sonnets.

Awareness of Caister has dwindled since then but the community at St Stephen’s are doing their best to redress this. Sadly their programme of events have been interrupted by the #coronavirus #covid19 #lockdown but keep an eye on @Caister_1420 for updates. (6/7)

[The Richard Caister Project @Caister_1420]

In the light of government advice concerning the current public health concerns, the Richard Caister Project is cancelling all events.

We hope to be able to re-schedule a more limited program of events later in the year.

Thank you very much for all your support.
