Dickensian York

Charles Dickens visited York many times, on his famous speaking tours and to visit his brother. Dickens was inspired by the Five Sisters’ window in York Minster and even based his character Mr Micawber on a York resident. Discover more about 19th century York through Dickens’ eyes; a city of great wealth and prosperity, and also crippling poverty. It is anticipated that this course will be held at the King’s Manor.
