Evening Talk

This talk shows how monastic and episcopal lodgings in Clerkenwell served as strategic stopovers for legal business, charter work, fundraising and hosting. Highlighting the Hospitallers, Gilbertines and Bishop of Ely, it reveals how local attractions made the area a lively hub of temporary residence, networking and cultural activity too.
