Lewes Priory Trust Emil Godfrey Lecture, on Zoom
Diarmaid MacCulloch: The best-laid plans: Thomas Cromwell’s failed future for Lewes
Find out how Lewes missed ‘a glamorous new future’ in Tudor times nearly 500 years ago, in a free talk on Zoom by renowned historian Diarmaid MacCulloch, Emeritus Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University.
In this 40th annual Emil Godfrey Memorial Lecture presented by Lewes Priory Trust, Professor MacCulloch explores how Lewes was swept up into English power politics at the highest level in 1537.
MacCulloch’s ‘History of Christianity: the first three thousand years’ won the 2010 Cundill Prize, the world’s largest prize for history, and his TV series of 2015 was a taster for his next book, ‘Sex and the Church’. He was knighted in 2012. His Thomas Cromwell biography appeared in 2018.
