History talks at Moreton in Marsh

It continues on Thursday 30th November with St Egwin of Evesham, a visionary, monastic founder and patron of pilgrims and ends with St Frideswide of Oxford on Thursday 7th December. Presiding spirit of the Thames Valley, her story is one of escape, survival and redemption.
