Among those participating are Dr Edward Roberts, School of History, who will explore the European connections of Canterbury and its archbishops between the arrival of St Augustine and the Norman Conquest. Dr Roberts’s assessment of the Canterbury’s political, cultural and religious pre-eminence in early medieval Britain will take place on 18 October, 5.45pm.
