About this Event

Praying in Medieval Bristol with the Ruddok-Clyve Hours

Professor Kathleen Kennedy

Stopping to look at the Ruddok-Clyve Hours, a book of hours made in medieval Bristol, demonstrates how much we can learn about the past from even small artefacts, and reveals glimpses into the everyday sights and sounds of the city that we might otherwise think were lost to time.

About the Author


Professor Kennedy specialises in medieval English history and the history of the book. Her publications include The Courtly and Commercial Art of the Wycliffite Bible (2014) and Medieval Hackers (2015). During her tenure as British Academy Global Professor, Kathleen Kennedy will be working on a catalogue of manuscripts and fragments scattered across various libraries in the city of Bristol, including Bristol University Library and Bristol Central Library.
