Over the past 10 years we have been privileged to hear many academic lecturers talk about many aspects of the Knight’s work. Amongst these have been:
Professor Kenneth McConkey, Dr Pamela Gerrish Nunn, Dr. Alice Strickland, Elizabeth Knowles, Neil Walker, Alison Bevan, David Evans and David Tovey.
R John Croft, Dame Laura’s great nephew, has also given illustrated talks about his great aunt using comprehensive material from his Catalogue Raisonée.
We are fortunate to have had such high quality of speakers and we’re sure this will continue.
