A four week course at the Cathedral Library and Archives exploring women through history - this is for women only.
About this Event

A four week course at the Cathedral Library and Archives exploring women through history. We will start with a tour of the Cathedral to discover monuments and tombs commemorating centuries of local women, followed by two sessions with a close-up view of fascinating original books and documents in the collections of the Library and Archives. Our final week will offer a chance to visit the Cathedral’s brand new Treasures Exhibition – home to the Exeter Book and Exon Domesday – and we will draw our thoughts together in a discussion of how we can use sources to study the past.
