Dr Sarah Jane Gibbon will give an Orkney Archaeology Society talk about her research into medieval Orcadian Christianity later this month.
Entitled An archaeology of Christianity in medieval Orkney: parishes, patronage and pilgrimage, the talk will outline her research into Christian practice in medieval Orkney by looking at churches, parish formation, the Naversdale runestone, St Magnus veneration and some recent finds from Skaill Farm, Rousay.
After giving a similar seminar to the Institute for Scottish History Research at the University of St Andrews earlier this year, Sarah Jane said: “It is super to have an opportunity to give this talk at home and to share some more recent finds as well as bringing together strands of research which I’ve been working on from the past 27 years”.
The online talk is online only (delivered via Zoom) after the OAS AGM, which begins at 7pm on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
