The long history of Jews in England - Licoricia of Winchester

Good morning, JHSE members,

The erection of the statue of Licoricia of Winchester with her son in the centre of that city earlier this year, has inspired a great deal of informative activity. One strand is the series of lectures organised by the Cathedral and made available online through this link:https://www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk/event/licoricia-lecture-series/
