Bartlemas: Oxford’s hidden sanctuary

Wednesday 25 November at 8pm
East Oxford Community Centre

Celebrating the links between past and present, this talk will explore the Bartlemas hamlet and leper hospital on the 900th anniversary of their foundation. Photographer and local historian Martin Stott charts its origins, turbulent history, its focus on  the outcasts, dispossessed, and stigmatised of the times, and the healing, care, compassion, refuge and sanctuary it offered.
