Healing Ministry
The healing ministry is an integral part of the Gospel and an important aspect of the life of St Mary's. All are welcome and of course there is no charge. Healing services are quiet and meditative you will not be asked any intrusive questions or asked why you have come. Please contact Fr Philip if you would like to discuss any aspect of this. |

The recording is 1 hour 15 minutes long and includes the question and answer period following the paper.
The event began with a short presentation by Dr. Tobias Capwell about the extraordinary collection of 16th century armour at St. Mary’s Church, Mendlesham, Suffolk and the plans for its restoration. This was followed by a presentation by Ninya Mikhaila who shared insights into the conventions of everyday dress and ownership of armour by men in 16th century England. The talk drew from the research carried out for The Typical Tudor: Reconstructing 16th century dress, which included a survey of nearly 10,000 documents containing references to clothing, arms and armour. Ninya shared insights from her study of original artefacts for a forthcoming publication on textile armour and illustrated how clothing styles, colours and materials changed through the period, as well as the types and quantities of armour utilised by the different ‘sorts’ of men.
Dr. Capwell and Ninya Mikhaila both answered questions at the end of the talk.
Tickets are £5 each and all proceeds will go to the Mendlesham Armoury Facelift Project.
A huge thank you to Ninya, Toby and MEDATS: Over £1,000 profit was made from ticket sales and donations.
Ninya co-owns a business called the Tudor Tailor, which provides bespoke garments, patterns and other historical clothing items for the Tudor period for national museums, films and TV. https://www.tudortailor.com/
