The Power of the Bishop team are joining with the Episcopus Society for the 2019 conference, exploring the theme of Episcopal Patronage from Late Antiquity to c.1500. We want to put together thematic panels that compare and contrast uses, abuses and outcomes of bishops as patrons across time and geographical boundaries.
Location: Sarum College, 19, The Close, Salisbury SP1 2EE
We are sponsored this year by Medium Aevum, who have been consistent supporters over the past 4 conferences. We are very pleased to have the support of the Episcopus Society and the sponsorship of Elon University Faculty of Art & Art History, and Cardiff University School of Modern Languages. We also have a number of private sponsors who put their own money into this event. This means we are able to offer Free Registration and no conference fee. Lunch is included both days, as well as tea and coffee. Tickets are limited!
