THE MARTYRDOM OF THE BLESSED WILLIAM WAY IN KINGSTON UPON THAMES ON 23 SEPTEMBER 1588. WAS IT IN THE MARKET PLACE?
A talk to support the Manna Society’s day centre for homeless people near London Bridge
This is a PowerPoint presentation with notes for a talk about the life and times of the Kingston Martyr, the Bl. William Way. The talk was the based on research for two papers about the Martyr which are on this website. It should have been given at St Raphael’s Church, Kingston, on Palm Sunday, 5 April 2020, as part of a Lenten project to raise funds for the support of The Manna Society. This runs a day centre for homeless people near London Bridge. Unfortunately the talk had to be called off in compliance with the Government’s control measures to address the current Coronavirus pandemic. Details of the good work of the Manna Society can be found at https://www.mannasociety.org.uk
