Recapturing The Infirmary of Canterbury Cathedral
3:00pm – 5:45pm
Details
Canterbury Cathedral preserves one of the best-surviving medieval infirmaries in England.
'Recapturing England's Monastic Heritage: The Infirmary of Canterbury Cathedral' will unveil new visualisations by Dr Nikolaos Karydis (University of Kent), tracing the building’s dramatic changes from its 12th-century origins to its 14th-century transformation. Dr Nigel Ramsay (Institute of English Studies) will explore how infirmaries shaped monastic life, while Dr Michael Carter (English Heritage) will reveal how monastic heritage continues to inspire and engage audiences today.
The talks will be followed by time for questions, and a tea/coffee break. The afternoon will conclude with a guided tour of the infirmary led by Nikos and Joel Hopkinson (Canterbury Cathedral).
Join us as these sessions bring the sights and stories of Canterbury’s lost infirmary back to life.
