Date - Saturday 12 October from 1.30pm to 3pm
This interactive workshop introduces the numerous types of parish records held in the Warwickshire County Record Office. Focusing on the centuries between Reformation and Enlightenment, when these originally ecclesiastical communities assumed local government duties (particularly relating to poor relief), participants will be given an initial overview by Beat Kümin (University of Warwick), followed by the opportunity to see specific books and accounts under the guidance of Sharon Forman (WCRO).
There will also be ample time to ask questions on subjects ranging from communal organisation via religious practices to record conservation.
Tickets are £15
Spaces are limited, please book via the Warwick Words website.
