We've been thinking about who our heroes are. Who are those that truly inspire us to do better, be better, be ourselves or make change? One of our heroes is Licoricia of Winchester. A business woman in the 13th-Century and a pioneer for Jewish people. Who are your #Jewishheroes?

Asher has been described as 'theatre-mad' - he's dragging Licoricia back to the #TRWinchester! Very sensible to want to hear last night's performance of Shylock by Gareth Armstrong.

Licoricia of Winchester is at the Jewish Museum, London! The maquette, Rebecca Abrams' new book, our leaflet and other material is being exhibited until January 2022. The museum is well-worth a visit. @jewishmuseumLDN

@HistoryFootnote Thank you, Kristin, for a fascinating podcast. I am sure that your listeners will enjoy the great book by Rebecca Abrams, 'Licoricia of Winchester: Power and Prejudice in Medieval England', which accompanies the statue. May Licoricia continue to make the world a better place.

[The Licoricia of Winchester Appeal @LicoriciaW]

@HistoryExtra @MiriERubin @medievaljews @toniagriffiths Excellent podcast - thank you! It is worth mentioning that Rebecca Abrams' book on Licoricia of Winchester, published this year, is well worth reading about the subject. It is a wonderful example of contextualisation.

Hi Tanya. Thank you for your interesting JC article. FYI, the Licoricia statue in Winchester includes Asher, expelled by Ed I. We are promoting knowledge of this event via leaflets and our new book. No CofE apology but this lecture by Bishop Ipgrave: https://t.co/XSoaUGkaXC
