Reading Stories in Stone: Historic Graffiti in English Churches

Have you ever seen scratches on an old wall and wondered what they mean? Historic graffiti, often found on the walls of medieval churches, serve as a fascinating time capsule for historians and archaeologists. Drawings and writing in these spaces give us glimpses into the stories of past communities and people.

Join Crystal Hollis (PhD) at the Guildhall Library in Aldermanbury, London EC2V 5AF, on 23 April from 2-3pm as she describes what graffiti is, how it has changed over time, and what it tells us about the people of the past.

This free event is online and in-person.
