Join Alison Weir on Thursday 16th November 7.30pm in The Great Hall at Alleyns School as she shares with us the dramatic story of five Norman queens from her new book Queens of the Conquest. From Matilda of Flanders, who supported William the Conqueror in his invasion of England in 1066, to the turbulent Empress Maud who founded the Plantagenet dynasty as the mother of Henry II. Stripping away centuries of romantic mythology and delving beyond the prejudice and credulity in contemporary sources, Alison will reveal a more balanced and authentic picture of these extraordinary women.

Love, hate, ambition and tragedy all feature in this epic saga.

Tickets are ?10/?8. BOOK TICKETS HERE: www.village-books.co.uk

  If you think that was bland, I'd be interested to know what art works you consider to be less bland 🤣 But anyway, it's already gone.

  I hear it's going to replaced by William Bouguereau's 1850 Dante and Virgil in Hell, or Mattia Preti's Martyrdom of St Peter, circa 1660. That so called mural was blander than white rice on a jacket potato. With no butter. Get rid.
