The John Davey Research Grant for Medieval Studies
The John Davey Research Grant for Medieval Studies was established to assist local historians and independent scholars with their research costs. Our panel is headed by Susan A. Mahoney and includes Dr. Mhairi Macleod, author G. Peter Algar, historian and CEO/President, Joe Ann Ricca and Jim Goodwin. The grant is available to aid the study of a topic that is relevant to the late Fifteenth Century especially the Yorkist period of 1450-1485, and especially on the reign of King Richard III.

They hold a medieval conference every year at Market Bosworth and this year it will be on the subject 'Richard III: Man and Monarch', 13th October 2012 at the Dixie Grammar School. So if our lab whet your appetite then go along to the conference - it is sure to be an informative day with lots of interesting talks lined up.
