4.15 pm in the Meadow Suite, Whiteknights

John Mullaney is a member of The Friends and holds first and postgraduate degrees from the University, as does his wife Lindsay. Together they ran the Caversham Bookshop and co- founded the Scallop Shell Press.

John has spent a great deal of time researching the history of Reading Abbey. His special interest is in its architecture, art and music and how these all contributed to life in the Abbey both for those who lived there and for those who visited it. He has published a number of books, most recently Reading Abbey – a pilgrim church.

Tea/coffee with cakes, will be available from 3.00 pm in the Meadow Suite, Park House, and will be followed by the talk at 4.15 pm.
