MCHRI seminar with Professor Roger Stalley

On 21 November 2023, Professor Roger Stalley gave a lecture on the medieval high crosses of Ireland to the MCHRI research network.

This seminar was held at Mary Immaculate College and formed part of the Limerick History Seminar series. The event was attended by an enthusiastic audience in person and online, who very much enjoyed Professor Stalley's encyclopedic knowledge of these iconic monuments in the Irish landscape.
