MEDIEVAL CASTLES CONFERENCE AT CHESTER: PLANS POSTPONED
Plans for the conference on Medieval Castles scheduled for May 8th., 2021, have been indefinitely postponed due to the continuing lockdown situation. The position will be reconsidered when it becomes possible to make more firm arrangements for large assemblies to take place.
