Kent and Canterbury History and Heritage: News of Events and Features

Considering the success of the Centre for Kent History and Heritage’s (CKHH) blog that ran for over a decade, it seemed a good idea to restart a similar style blog under a new name. Moreover, the back catalogue is a useful resource and that is available too, being categorised by year, thereby providing hundreds of blogs.

Going forward, rather than weekly, there will be two blogs a month. Among other matters, these will feature forthcoming outreach events linked to Kent MEMS and the Canterbury Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (CAMEMS), starting with the 2025 Michael Nightingale Memorial Lecture, which is a free, open lecture – see the first blog for details.

As well as news about forthcoming events, the blog will include interesting research findings on the history and heritage of Canterbury and the county more widely:

For those new to CAMEMS, this is the Canterbury Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, which aims to aid postgraduates financially working in the field of medieval and early modern studies. Initially for students studying at the University of Kent for the MEMS MA, the aim is to extend this in future to aid doctoral students through the proceeds from outreach events and donations. Please see:
www.camems.org.uk/community/camems-20688/home for the website.

CAMEMS works in tandem with the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Kent (Kent MEMS) to offer history and heritage events, which from 2026 will include the annual alternating Medieval Canterbury Weekend and Tudors & Stuarts Weekend.

From the start in 2016, these History Weekends were designed to offer new historical findings in a friendly and accessible way, thereby providing opportunities for people to meet experts in a wide range of historical fields. More information about Kent MEMS is here:

so please do have a look.
