The Silk Road has existed in many forms since ancient times. It is the trade route through central Asia which links China with the Middle East, and, ultimately, the Mediterranean world. We will explore its development and its heyday in the 13th and 14th centuries. Highlights will include the architecture of Samarkand and Bukhara, and artistic treasures of Yuan Dynasty China.

NB This is a freelance course, and cannot be run as Robert’s in-venue courses have been in the past. If you have not registered beforehand and want to turn up and pay on the day, please be aware that the course will not run if there are not enough registrations to render it feasible. You are, of course, very welcome to decide to attend at the last minute, but do please be sure to contact us before making any plans or journeys, to check that it is indeed taking place as we hope that it will.

Should the course not attract sufficient interest to run, we’ll contact all who have registered, and full refunds will be issued. Thank you for your understanding as we seek to establish whether face-to-face Wright History courses in the York area are feasible!
