SUMMARY:Visit to Worcester – The Commandery and Greyfriars House (NT)
DESCRIPTION:Worcester dates back to the Romans; by 680AD the Saxons had established the Diocese of Worcester and laid the foundations of the Cathedral. Sadly\, the Cathedral is closed on 18 June\, so we will visit The Commandery instead. \nThis was founded in around 1085 as an Almshouse and a Hospitality for Pilgrims by the Knights Hospitallers\, and contains some fascinating medieval paintings and\, it is said\, a Ghost! \nIn the afternoon a guided walk through the city centre leads to Greyfriars House (NT)\, a 15th century timbered merchant’s house\, saved from demolition in the 1930s\, restored and handed to the Trust in 1966. \nFor the latest information about this visit\, please see Stop Press. \n

SUMMARY:AGM followed by a Lecture - The ‘Asian Mystery’:  Benjamin Disraeli and the Poet in Politics
DESCRIPTION:At Magdalen College Auditorium\, Longwall St  \nRefreshments and raffle from 10.20am;  AGM at 10.45am;  Lecture at 11.10am.  All welcome! Members £5\, non-members £6 \nBenjamin Disraeli was the most unlikely prime minister of the nineteenth century.  A Jew\, a novelist and a failed poet\, he rose to the leadership of the Tory Party while upturning all the social conventions of his day.  Critics called him “the Asian mystery”;  he himself boasted of having “an Oriental mind”; and his great rival\, Gladstone\, thought him a dictator in the making.  \nThis talk by Dr Robert Saunders\, Reader in British History at Queen Mary University of London\, explores the life and career of one of Britain’s most colourful and controversial prime ministers\, assessing the origins of Disraeli’s politics\, his impact on the nineteenth century and his legacy for later generations.
