MASTER IS PRESENTED WITH A BOUND COPY OF THE BOOK OF MARGERY KEMPE

22 JULY 2020

Master is presented with a bound copy of The Book of Margery Kempe

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

You can read the sermon here and find out more about Margery Kempe  here.
