Next Meeting
“… a marvellous freedom from the tumult of the world” (St Aelred of Rievaulx): monastic worship in a medieval monastery
Our next talk is Friday 21st March, 7.30pm in the Committee Room at the North Yorkshire Moors Park Authority HQ in Helmsley, YO62 5BP by Rev Dr Greg Hoyland FRSA FHEA
All Welcome
Join us for an engaging evening with the Helmsley Archaeological & Historical Society as we delve into what on earth did Cistercian monks do – and why? How liturgical practice influenced the architecture and running of the monastery and how Cistercian reform played out in the monasteries using Rievaulx Abbey as a case study.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about the rich heritage of Helmsley and beyond, this is an event not to be missed!
