He will cover the role that manors played in Sussex history, a particular issue for Lewes.

In the 11th Century, there was a manor of Lewes, originally held by the de Warennes, but later subdivided between their heirs. However, it did not cover every property in Lewes – we have a town in which many different manors had a stake.Start is 7.30pm on Zoom, Monday March 13.Members are free; Non-members £4 via https://ticketsource.co.uk/lhg

This meeting will be the last of our winter Zoom series and on 3 April we will return to Kings Church hall. Visit leweshistory.org.uk/meetings
