Talk: Street Churches’ Victorian Rebuilding

Tuesday 17th July 7.30.pm in the Village Hall. Entrance £2.

Dav Smith fromYork University will update us on the findings from his detailed study on the Victorian re-building of the Street Churches, with particular reference to Slingsby.

Dav has been  doing a PhD at York University,  studying the rebuilding of the medieaval churches along the Street in the 19th Century, why it was done, what was lost and who paid for it all. He gave us a brief  talk last year as he was setting out on his studies but now after completing his extensive survey work and work in the archives which have revealed a lot of interesting information, he is returning to update us.
