University’s history’ on Thursday 8 February at 7.30pm at the village hall.
Established by an Act of Parliament in 1832, the university holds the distinction of being the third oldest in England. It has a rich and often surprising history, from its close connection to the Church of England in its early days to its present-day incarnation as a globally recognised institution.
Accompanied by images from its archive, the talk will explore ten facts about the university’s story and trace the evolution of a unique institution.
Admission of £3 includes refreshments and all are welcome.
