LATEST BOOK

Our member David Turner, a guide at Southwell Minster, has long been interested in the visit of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey to Southwell in 1530.  He has written an historical novel Letters from the Cardinal.  It is a series of  imaginary letters written to Thomas Wolsey, but based on known facts drawn from various sources.

It is planned to publish the book in the Autumn of 2017, the proceeds of which will go towards the Leaves of Southwell Project.
