Monday, 8 June 7.30 pm at Kings Church

George Jones, who grew up in Lewes, is the author of Beowulf Revelations, a book published last year that presents a new interpretation of the Beowulf Manuscript, housed in the British Museum and the work of an almost forgotten Anglo-Saxon king. The Saxon kingdom ruled by Beowulf or Beornwulf in the early 9th century extended as far as the area around Lewes, and some of his scarce coins have been found in this area. George’s talk will focus on the reality behind this story, highlighting connections to Lewes, Ringmer, the Ouse Valley and Hamsey church.
Members will not need to register in advance to attend this talk.
Non-members can buy a ticket (£4.00) from Ticketsource.co.uk/lhg
Please arrive in good time for a prompt start at 7.30 pm.
PS We would very much appreciate some help with putting out the chairs for the talk. We need to start doing this from 6.30 pm, and all volunteers will be welcome. Many thanks in advance.
