    Course start date:  Mon 12 Jan 2026

    Location on this date:  Keeley Street

    Tutors:  Vanessa King

    The Norman Conquest was arguably the most catastrophic event in English history. Changes in language and law are still with us today.  We can thank the Normans for words like ‘murder’, the imposition of inheritance tax and haute cuisine!
