ALT Kent Libraries and Archives 2026 Author Talk Programme, Go All In for the National Year of Reading with free tickets.
ALT Free Storytime for 3 to 4 year olds at the library
ALT Sue Lamberton wears medieval attire to present her lunchtime talk at Kent History and Library Centre, Maidstone. About the talk: What comes to mind first, at first glance of an ancient document or book? That it’s an incredible survivor? That the handwriting is tiny, beautiful, or in an unfamiliar language? That it may be embellished with illuminated letters with gorgeous colours of deep pigments and burnished gold? That there’s a surviving seal or even multiple seals? For the textile lover however, focus on these wonderful things can fade when encountering the tantalising addition of an original ribbon, braid or embroidered seal bag and the thoughts of how, where, and by whom it was made. Sue Lamberton is an independent scholar with a particular interest in the silkwomen of London, who demonstrates, teaches and makes silk textiles for museums and historic sites, the performing arts industry and living history.
