Researching Place-Based Religious Histories Beyond the Parish Church (1)

Tuesday 25th March, 2025.

2:00pm – 4:00pm.

ZOOM.

FREE.

This event is part of the IHR’s People, Place and Community seminar series and is hosted by the Centre for the History of People, Place and Community.

Writing the history of Britain’s places and communities is not possible without reference to religion, faith and spirituality. However, local and place-based histories have traditionally focused on telling the stories of parish churches, their buildings, monuments, and communities. In this training session run by the Victoria County History, experts in British nonconformity, Judaism and Global Majority Evangelical church communities will introduce these groups, key moments in their histories and how to study their local buildings and communities across the UK.  During this training sessions, researchers will explore contextual information on the religious communities we cover in the session while having the opportunity to undertake detailed research on a community and geographical location related to this topic.
