HARRINGWORTH FIELDWORK GROUP

The Harringworth Fieldwork Group are presenting two fascinating talks in the Village Hall.

THE HARPOLE TREASURE

By Paul Thompson

Harringworth Village Hall
Friday 19th January 2024 at 7.30pm                 

In April 2022 an internationally important lady from the 7th century was discovered buried at Harpole in Northants. Like all great and amazing archaeological discoveries, this was completely unexpected and was within the last few days of the excavation. Paul Thompson, Project Manager for the excavation, will reveal everything about the site, its excavation and what this tells us about important women in the early medieval era.

Tickets £7.00

DEATH IN THE GARDEN

By Michael Brown
Harringworth Village Hall
Friday 16th February 2024 at 7.30pm

Man has been fascinated by poisonous plants since earliest times;
whether as hunter gatherers to avoid them, or in later times to
identify them in cultivated plots, to use them for recreation, to treat
illness or to cause harm. Michael Brown, ex Head Gardener,
College lecturer, Garden Historian and author, will introduce us to
this subject which holds a strange fascination for many. He will
explore these treacherous and peculiar plants, their defensive and
deadly traits, as well as the folklore that has grown around them.

Tickets £7.00

To book please contact Roy Kedge on 07421 369406
