Catholic Record Society 67th Annual Conference
14-16 July 2025 | Hinsley Hall, Leeds and Online
The Council are pleased to share a few photos from our annual conference at Hinsley Hall this past July! The conference brought together scholars from various disciplines, studying British and Irish Catholicism in a wide range of geographies and temporalities. We were glad to receive papers from scholars at every stage of their career, from returning friends and a few new ones too!

We are grateful to our keynote speakers, Dr Bronagh McShane (Trinity College Dublin), Dr Elizabeth Powell (University of Notre Dame in London) and Dr Gabriel Glickman (University of Cambridge) and to Dr Kristoff Smeyers for introducing his new book, Supernatural Bodies (2024) during a fabulous wine reception!
Finally, thank you to everyone who joined us online in Leeds for making the conference such a memorable experience. We hope to see you again in 2026!
