SUMMARY:Professor Sue Black - The Real World of Forensic Anthropology
DESCRIPTION:Sue Black is the UK’s leading forensic anthropologist. Her work has ranged from war crimes investigations in Kosovo to single suspicious deaths in the UK and everything in between\, some of which have been the subject of a series of TV programmes.  She will talk about how her upbringing and an academic career in human anatomy paved the way for a career in this field and how her current research is helping to identify perpetrators of child sexual abuse globally.  She says ‘it may seem like a dark topic when you work with death every day of your life\, but it is surprising just how much humour can be found’.

SUMMARY:Trevor Rowley - A Stitch in Time: The Miraculous Story of the Bayeux Tapestry
DESCRIPTION:The Bayeux Tapestry is an 11th century embroidery which tells the story of the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings and graphically illustrates the battle itself.  Most popular perceptions of the Norman Conquest of England are based on illustrations taken from the Tapestry.  In this talk Trevor will describe this extraordinary artefact\, how\, where\, when and why it was made.  He will also discuss its later history and the role it played during the Napoleonic Wars and World War II.  Trevor is an English landscape historian and archaeologist known for his work on the Welsh Marches\, Oxfordshire and the medieval landscape and published a book “The Landscape of the Bayeaux Tapestry” in 2023.  Amongst other distinguished posts\, he is a trustee and co-director of the Appleton Area Archaeological Research Project\, which is investigating the history and archaeology of his home village of Appleton.

SUMMARY:Abingdon Ladies Choir – If we cannot fly let us sing:  A winter warm up  of song
DESCRIPTION:The Abingdon Ladies’ Choir has been in existence under the auspices of the Abingdon Music Centre for many years.  The first meeting was in The Old Gaol before moving to the Abbey Baptist Church and more recently\, after the challenge and social joy of Zoom sessions during the pandemic\, meeting in the Church and then The Barn at Christ Church on Northcourt Road.  This is a group of ladies who rise to the challenge of three or sometimes four part part singing and love the social benefits being a member of such an enthusiastic\, fun loving\, music loving\, friendly choir.  Before Covid they were two choirs but at present are functioning as just one\, singing together on Tuesday afternoons during term time\, primarily concerned with the enjoyment and well being of singing together. New members are always welcome and there is no need to be able to read music.  There are no auditions.  If you would be interested in joining us do speak to us afterwards or contact Abingdon Music Centre on 07934 364940.
