Holy Trinity (Goodramgate) Church, York

Between a bust up at a baptism and daggers drawn near St William’s College, the parish of Holy Trinity, Goodramgate lay, sometimes uneasily, between the precinct of York Minster and the city parishes. Historian Pat Cullum explores the complicated map of barriers and jurisdictions that made up the city, focussing on the development Holy Trinity from the Norman Conquest to the Reformation (and a little beyond).
Part of the York Festival of Ideas.

About the Speaker
Dr Pat Cullum did her doctorate at the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of York. After a career as a University lecturer in Medieval History, she is now a lead volunteer at Holy Trinity, Goodramgate.
Access
Seating will be in the historic box pews. The pews are fixed and sightlines vary. Seating will be allocated on arrival and you may be required to share a pew with others. Wrap up warmly - in true medieval fashion, there is no heating inside the venue and temperature is always colder than outside the building. Blankets are available on request. There is a toilet on site, but this is primarily for staff use and will only be made available in an emergency.
Light levels are low and floors uneven throughout the building. Holy Trinity Goodramgate is wheelchair accessible except for the Sunken Chapel and St James' Chapel (you will not require access to either of these areas to enjoy this event). There are three steps up to access the toilet or flat access via an external route which may need to be unlocked.
If you have any access needs that you would like to discuss before attending, please contact york@thecct.org.uk.
