While St Mary’s is closed for conservation works, we have been considering our place in historic Newark, and taking a closer look at the buildings that surround us. This year, we invite you to an illustrated talk by Jason Mordan of Notts County Council based on the 2005 publication of the same title. Nottinghamshire has a wealth and wide variety of oak ‘Timber-frame buildings’ including a cluster of fascinating examples in Newark. This talk will examine the tree-ring dating of many of these and explore their interesting aspects.

Join this fun, family-friendly workshop to make your own art piece to take away with you- all inspired by the beautiful Medieval stained glass of St Mary Magdalene.

Learn about how Medieval stained glass was made, what designs and colours were favoured, and where it was commonly used hundreds of years ago, before creating your own piece of art to take home.

This workshop does not use real glass.
