You are warmly invited to come and hear Carole Rawcliffe, Professor Emerita at UEA's school of History and Art History speak about Norwich's Medieval Hermits.

This is followed by wine and soft drinks.

Carole Rawcliffe was an editor on the History of Parliament Trust (1979-92) before becoming Senior Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at UEA (1992-7). She was made Reader in the History of Medicine (1997), Professor of Medieval History (2002) and Professor Emeritus of Medieval History (2015).

Her research focuses upon the theory and practice of medicine in medieval England, with particular emphasis upon hospitals, the interconnection between sickness, healing and religion, and urban health. As editor of The History of Norwich (2004) and The Norwich Chamberlains' Accounts 1539-1545 (2019), she maintains a keen interest in the East Anglian region, and has written extensively on its medical provision. She is currently chair of the Council of the Norfolk Record Society and serves on the Publications Committee of the Norwich Society.

Her many other publications include Medicine for the Soul (1999), Leprosy in Medieval England (2006) and Urban Bodies (2013). She has also co-edited collections of essays on Society in an Age of Plague (2012) and Policing the Urban Environment in Premodern Europe (2019). She is currently engaged in projects on urban animals and on late medieval approaches to fitness and health, on which she has already published various articles.
