Event details
We have brought together speakers who offer new perspectives on familiar (punishment, clothing) and unfamiliar (gossip, eavesdropping) aspects of workhouse life. Fusing great stories, new sources and challenges to existing perceptions, our contributors collectively seek to bring the workhouse and its residents to vivid life.
Papers will begin at 1700 on each day and last for 30-40 minutes. There will be an extended opportunity for audience questions.

12.30 pm - 2 pmPreparing yourself for running a parish? Daunted by the rules and regs around replacing pews or restoring church carpets? Come along to our free webinar hosted by Jack Stuart, Paralegal at Nottingham Law School Legal Advice Centre and incoming local Pupil Barrister. Our webinar will offer an introduction to the Faculty system, including who is involved and the process you’ll need to follow. There will also be some guidance on the applicable law and some helpful tips on drafting your documents. A general Q&A will follow at the end. A critical (yet untouched at college!) area of knowledge, ordinands, curates and junior incumbents may find this webinar particularly useful.
