Around 15 of us gathered last Monday (a typical number for the lunch time get togethers) at the Evangelical Library in London to hear Norman Hopkins speak on the Lollard leader Sir John Oldcastle (Lord Cobham) and some of his Lollard contemporaries and predecessors. As usual with Norman this was with special reference to the county of Kent. He also made a point, as he often does, of including plenty of visual fare to help us. That was appreciated. I must take a leaf from his book when I lecture on Coggeshall in Essex next month. It is on the 18th - do come and join us. Oldcastle had his obvious faults but he knew the Lord adn even in such dark times lived up to the light he had.
