Time Travel for Armchair Archaeologists

Details:

Fieldwork feels a distant memory – especially buildings archaeology, in people’s homes.  But there is plenty we can do without leaving the comfort of our own sofa; armchair adventures which expand our knowledge and understanding.

Join Jenne for a time travelling visit to Toynton All Saints and St Peter, in the Lincolnshire countryside, as we explore the village in 1614.  King James is on the throne, the Gunpowder Plot is a vivid memory, and a group of religious radicals from Gainsborough will cross the Atlantic in a few years’ time.  But what is going on in a rural place like Toynton?  And how can we connect with the past from our living rooms, when we can’t get out and about? 

We will explore some of the online resources which are available to everyone for free, and learn just how much can be discovered without leaving the house!
