In this talk, Tony Morgan discusses the fascinating history behind the life and death of Margaret Clitherow, a woman accused of harbouring Catholic priests in Tudor York during the reign of Elizabeth I. Incredibly, her step father was Lord Mayor of York at the time. Margaret's story combines politics, intrigue and ultimately martyrdom. The talk is very well-researched and engaging, with time for questions at the end.
