Welcome

Welcome to the Licoricia of Winchester Appeal.

Our book entitled ‘Licoricia of Winchester:  Power and Prejudice in Medieval England.

Available from Amazon, and many other retailers.

Our aims:

  • To educate about England’s and Winchester’s important but forgotten medieval Jewish Community.
  • Inform about Winchester’s significant Royal medieval past.
  • Promote religious tolerance and the value of diversity in the community, and challenge prejudice.
  • Inspire women and young people, and promote education in providing opportunity.

Having erected the statue it is now the hub of our schools work.  Please do give towards our important educational work.

Hampshire County Council has developed lessons for its Key Stage 3 pupils, teaching about the period and its messages for today https://licoricia.org/schools/.  Other material is also available on this page, inlcuding a link to the recent Pearson KS4 GCSE material for their Migration Unit.

We are working on more lessons for younger children, and other educational work.  Details will be announced.
