CIRENCESTER HISTORY FESTIVAL 2025 SPONSORED TALK
TASC was honoured to host the first sponsored talk at the Cirencester History Festival - The Invention od British Art. It was a sell out and we were truly blessed to have Dr Bendor Grosvenor to give our talk.
His theme, art and the church, was especially appropriate as we were in Cirencester Church. The early churches were highly decorated with paintings - these were a way of teaching people the scriptures. It was tragic that when the reformation took place contents of the churches, including most of the manuscripts, were burnt to melt the lead from the roof. So much art was lost forever. Henry VIII had a lot to answer for! Graven images were introduced again with Charles I & II in the form of portraiture. A fascinating and entertaining talk, made more special with references to Cirencester.
HELP US IMPROVE AND GROW OUR SOCIETY
We are constantly working to improve and grow our Society – this works particularly well when Members actively participate in the delivery of our activities. For each role, we are endeavouring to recruit at least two people. This gives extra support to the role holders, provides back-up for when one is on holiday and, importantly, increases ideas and creativity in our approach.
Any members interested in helping are asked to contact any of the committee members during a meeting, or by email to info@theartssocietycorinium.org
