Friday 4 August at 7:30pm Kate Giles on The Middleham Jewel

The Middleham Jewel was found in the 1980s by a metal detectorist and acquired by the Yorkshire Museum in the early 1990s.

Since then, further discoveries and analysis have shed light on its possible meanings as a late medieval jewel with a complex biography which raises intriguing questions about its commission, ownership, use and loss. Kate Giles will share her thoughts, invite further reflections and discuss its potential links to Richard III and his household.
