Anglo-Saxon Churches in Yorkshire

There are more than 200 churches where we can still see parts of the original Anglo-Saxon building. Some of the best of these survivals are in our area. Where are they? What are their architectural characteristics? And how, in the many centuries since the Norman Conquest, have successive developments respected what came before? These are the questions that Professor Hill will answer in her illustrated talk.
