SOLD OUT - Topic Talk: A Man and His Maker: Facing Death in Worcester in 1499

Get to know Thomas Grene – first resident of Greyfriars, and a man we can only piece together by his will and the medieval Worcester in which he lived.

  • Booking essential

Join us for an enlightening talk on how one man prepared for death in medieval Worcester.

With little evidence detailing the lives of people living in the medieval era, we must piece together their world with the help of anything they leave behind, to create an image of who they were and how they approached life... and death.

Tuesday 24th June 2025 at 11.15am

This talk is led by a volunteer.

The talk will be held downstairs at Greyfriars. Please check in at reception upon arrival. There are cobbles and uneven surfaces throughout, as well as a step into the seated area.

Tickets are available online and from the reception at Greyfriars: £6.00 per person. Tickets must be booked in advance.

Talk lasts approx. 45minutes.

All profits go towards supporting Greyfriars House and Garden so it can continue to be enjoyed by everyone, for ever.
