Maud Heath and Beyond: Exploring the Lives of Women Before 1600

Maud Heath is one of Wiltshire's most well-known mediaeval women, with a causeway named after her and monuments raised in her honour. Yet, she is one of many women of Wiltshire before 1600 whose lives are notable and worthy of celebration. Unfortunately, for the majority, their stories are not studied or recounted. This study day explores women's history before 1600—their diverse impacts on the society, economy, religion and politics of the world around them. The event will feature papers and discussions and will draw on academics involved in the Victoria County History project and present their insights from research in place-based histories from Wiltshire and beyond. The event is specifically designed to promote women's history, and local history groups and historians are encouraged to participate to facilitate a knowledge exchange.
