Saturday 24th October at St Mary's Church, 17 William Street, Tewantin - 3.45pm for a 4.00pm start
DIVERSE RICHE AND COSTLYE JEWELLS 17th Century Trade, Treasure and The Cheapside Hoard
Presented by Amanda Herries (International speaker)
'Diverse Riche and Costlye Jewells' is a perfect description of the unique collection known as the 'Cheapside Hoard'. Unearthed, by chance, in 1912 in an historic part of London, it seems it was lost, or buried, between 1640-1666. Over 400 pieces make up this remarkable hoard. These are rare, but not royal, jewels that demonstrate remarkable skills with stones mined in every part of the world. What does the collection represent? Why was it bought together? What are it's secrets?
Bookings contact Kate Hart: [email protected]
Visitors fee: $30 pp
W**e and nibbles are served after the lecture
