At our recent Day Conference at Downside Abbey we were given two extremely interesting talks  on the Gordon Riots which took place as a result of the controversy surrounding the introduction of the First Catholic Relief Act towards the end of the 18th century.  We are very grateful to our speakers for allowing them to be reproduced on our website.     You can listen to them by clicking on the arrows below:
