Love and marriage medieval style – what was it like? All will be revealed when a well known historian delivers a lecture in Banbury.

The lecture is the November fixture organised by Banbury Historical Society. It takes place on Thursday, November 14 when the society and its audience welcomes Dr Rowena E. Archer who will be talking about Love and Marriage in Medieval Oxfordshire.

The lecture will explore the law on marriage and the experiences of some women in the county.
