Trip to Leipzig with the Anglo-German Family History Society |
Sunday 11th May pm 2003
We had a time to meet the guide round Naumburg Cathedral, which was well worth it, as it was modernised around 1200, has two choirs & rood screens & the crypt is the original 1000 year old church. Such an enormous building for such a small 'city'. We had the opportunity to go round the unbombed town & had 'tea' with the Hunts. Gerhard took us back on the old road through Lützen, so I had to give another lecture, this time on Gustav Adolf & the entire Thirty Years War, which is not on British curricula.
