LMH Summer Lectures: Kate McCaffrey on 'Anne Boleyn's Book Club'

Join us for another LMH Summer Lecture with speaker Kate mcCaffrey, Curator of Hever Castle in Kent, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII.

Anne Boleyn's Book Club: Transferring Academic Scholarship into Public Heritage Engagement

This talk will explore the growing Tudor 'Book Club' emerging from Kate's research, investigating the discoveries and connections she has made between Books of Hours once owned by famous but disparate figures at Henry VIII's court: Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon, and Thomas Cromwell. Kate will also discuss her passion for knowledge transfer, explaining how she has turned scholarly research into popular exhibitions at Hever Castle, accompanied by books, podcasts, and documentaries.

All members of the LMH community are warmly invited to come along to this lecture, which is part of an ongoing series throughout the summer.

If you have any questions about the lectures, please contact: emily.guerry@lmh.ox.ac.uk.
