Powerful Tombs: The Medieval 'Living' Dead

Lecture Theatre 1-2pm £3, pay at the door. Medieval tombs allowed the dead to reach down the centuries, acquiring new narratives and identities from the Middle Ages to the present day. This talk by Professor Howard Williams explores the power of tombs in the medieval world, their destruction, translation and restoration in the modern era, and how antiquaries and archaeologists make and re-make the medieval dead as powerful components of popular culture from the 19th to the 21st centuries.
