The British Archaeological Association holds an annual conference at a centre of
established importance in the medieval period, usually in the British Isles and
occasionally in mainland Europe, collating the results of recent research on major
cathedrals, minsters and abbeys and including visits to places of relevant
interest.
The conference for 1998 will be held in Windsor from 18 to 22 July:
