MASTER IS PRESENTED WITH A BOUND COPY OF THE BOOK OF MARGERY KEMPE
22 JULY 2020
Liveryman Robin Shearmur was obviously listening intently to then Court Assistant, the Right Reverend Dr Stephen Platten's sermon at the John Norton Service on 13 February 2018 because he remembered and stored up the fact that that the sermon referred to the Book of Margery Kempe.
Robin acquired a copy of the book and had it bound by Matt Stockl who was one of the apprentices at the Queen's
Royal Bindery and prepared to present it to the Master at his installation. As we all know, thanks to Covid-19 it wasn't possible to do that in person but Robin was able to make the presentation effectively during his conversation with the Master last week which was recorded and members can log in to the Members Only area of the website and view the recording here.
