Members will be interested to hear of this forthcoming conference, formerly to be held at the University of Nottingham in 2020, now postponed to 1-2 July 2021. Entitled ‘Pfaff at 50’, it celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Richard W. Pfaff’s New Liturgical Feasts in Later Medieval England in 1970.

Professor Pfaff (1936-2016) was Vice-President of the Henry Bradshaw Society and a noted expert on medieval English liturgy.
