A celebration of the 650th anniversary of the visions of Julian of Norwich

May 2023 sees the 650th anniversary of the ‘showings’ or visions of Julian of Norwich. During the session will read a lecture written 50 years ago especially for the six hundredth anniversary celebrations, by the then Assistant Archivist of the Norfolk and Norwich Record Office, F.I. Dunn, BA - Hermits, Anchorites and Recluses: A Study with reference to Medieval Norwich.  It is a fascinating insight into the remarkably high number of recluses living around the time of Julian – none of whom, unfortunately, have left us a book to reveal their inner life as Julian has done. Next, former archivist Frank Meeres will look at what we know from contemporary documents about Julian’s life.  Finally, there will be a chance to see original documents that mention Julian and some later documents that relate to the church.The session runs for 2 hoursFind our Spring 2023 programme of events <a href="https://norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/events-spring-2023/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here.</a><a href="https://norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/norfolk-record-office-events/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>If you are no longer able to attend, please let us know so that we can offer your place to someone on the waiting list.
