The morning session will commence at 11.00 and will  include short talks from members of local history societies in  the county on items of current interest and research. The  afternoon session will commence with the AGM, followed by the Lionel Munby lecture.

This year the speaker will be Professor Mark Bailey, Professor of Later Medieval History at  the University of East Anglia. He has researched extensively many aspects of late medieval social and economic history,  focussing particularly on evidence from manorial records. His  latest book, Serfdom in Medieval England, using the well documented St Albans abbey estates of Codicote, Norton and Winslow, analyses the effects of the Black Death on serfdom, its decline and how manorial lords managed their estates  thereafter.
