At a meeting on February 16 called by Professor David Bates, head of the Institute of Historical Research, it was decided that funding would be sought for a year's pilot study to research documentary and other sources on the presence of Aficans, Saracens, Tartars and Greeks in the UK in the period 1100 to 1500. The idea was instigated by Marika Sherwood of BASA, who received strong support from Elizabeth Hallam-Smith of the National Archives.
