‘Reviving the Trinity Collegiate Church: Royal Treasure or Lost Cause?’

This talk will cover the fascinating life story of the medieval church, and include the heated 19th century debates regarding its demolition in the name of progress by the North British Railway in 1848. It will touch on Jill’s current project to find the lost Trinity stones, now dispersed all over Edinburgh.

Jill is a social art historian with a particular interest in 15th century cultural exchange between Scotland and Burgundy. She is a Research Associate at the Open University and recently gave up her lecturing post to spend more time on writing and research. She leads the Trinity Network and the Adornes Network.

She is an FSA Scot and is funded by the Old Edinburgh Club for the ‘Reviving the Trinity Stones’ project and is curating a forthcoming exhibition on this at the Museum of Edinburgh next year. She very much enjoys spreading the word about the importance of preserving Edinburgh’s medieval past.
