We are pleased to announce our upcoming Study Forum, on February 22^nd 2020 (Saturday).

York Minster, one of the largest cathedrals in the world, dating back to the 7th century and located in the heart of York.

This special edition of the forum will take place in a new location, namely the beautiful and historic town of York. Founded by the Romans in 71 AD, there are a number of cultural heritage sites to visit and explore in this gem of Northern England, not least of which the venue for the Study Forum itself, King’s Manor. A Grade I listed building, this manor has played a prestigious role in British history since medieval times and presently belongs to the campus of the University of York. Moreover, York Art Gallery, a stone’s throw from the venue will be presenting its largest solo exhibition to date, Harland Miller: York, So Good They Named It Once, supported by White Cube.

Covering a busy day of talks combined with a unique opportunity to meet with others in the field and share ideas, this forum’s schedule will run from 9:45 am to 5pm and is packed with a variety of speakers, amongst which:

• Professor Geoffrey Bennett (IAL Senior Fellow), ‘The law of Treasure’
• Crispin Oliver (Barrister, Dere Street Chambers), ‘Treasure: examples and case studies’
