Thomas More: A Life and Death in Tudor England
Wednesday 1 October
Castle Hill Baptist Church
10.30am
Saintly scholar, zealous persecutor, ambitious statesman – who was the ‘real’ Thomas More?
The hero of A Man for All Seasons or the villain of Wolf Hall?
Joanne Paul recovers the living, breathing, complex historical individual who walked London’s streets, wrote Utopia, and daringly spoke truth to Henry VIII.
Drawing on new archival research from her biography of More, Joanne will explore the man and the myth.
Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of the sixteenth century to separate fact from fiction and uncover the enduring legacy of one of history’s most enigmatic and divisive figures.
