About this Event
Discover how fashion has shaped the story of the Great Hall and its Smithfield surroundings in this illustrated talk by Susannah Cohen of Square Mile Secrets. From the medieval cloth fairs to the silk weavers, drapers and furriers who followed, the fashion industry has always been woven into the area. The talk will also uncover the links between the clothing trade and Barts North Wing itself, and trace how centuries of events held in the Great Hall reflected changing trends in dress and society.
