Tales of Medieval Women
Best selling author and medievalist Anne O’Brien will give a talk on the lives of women in the Middle Ages at Pembridge Parish Hall on Friday 18th September 6.30 pm for 7pm.
While history books concentrate on battles and power struggles, Anne will use her encyclopaedic knowledge to portray the lives of women who married powerful men and those who served them.
Women’s lives were often hard and claimed by disease and childbirth. Noblewomen faced the added challenges of politics of the court, facing punishment for their husband’s misdeeds, plotting to elevate their sons and daughters, seeing off sieges and defending their land from attack.
Those who know Anne’s novels, or who attended her last talk in Pembridge, will appreciate how she brings historic figures alive, creating characters with whom we can empathise. Yet her detailed research offers a window into the lives of those who lived here when The New Inn was new and the Bell Tower just newly built.

Portrait of Pembridge
Pembridge is full of historic buildings; we know a lot about them and while the lives of noblemen, bishops and kings are well recorded, little is known about most people whose lives have built the fabric of our community.
“Portrait of Pembridge” helps to explore our past by creating a record of people and events in Pembridge today for future generations.
