SUMMARY:Bartlemas: Oxford’s hidden sanctuary – An exhibition (and talk) by Martin Stott
DESCRIPTION:in collaboration with Oxfordshire Artweeks\n16 – 25 May | 12pm – 6pm\nThursday, 21 May | 6pm (talk)\nSt Bartholomew’s Chapel, Bartlemas *\nCelebrating the links between past and present, this exhibition explores the Bartlemas Hamlet and leper hospital on the 900th anniversary of their foundation. A rich mix of place, spirituality, ‘edgeland’ and contemporary stories that still infuse this unique locality.\nPhotographer and local historian Martin Stott charts its origins, turbulent history, its focus on the outcasts, dispossessed, and refugees of the times, and the healing, care, refuge, and sanctuary it offered. He traces its impact on east Oxford over 900 years, drawing out the threads of these traditions, re-made and celebrated in the neighbourhood today.\nEntrance is free\nBooking essential for the talk\n*The exhibition is being held in the atmospheric and rarely open Bartlemas Chapel. Access on foot only, is via a narrow lane off Cowley Road. Chapel 300m up on right hand side. No vehicles, no parking.\n
