The council’s museums service is pleased to announce a series of autumn lectures at the Treasure House, Beverley.
Dr David Marchant, museums registrar, will begin the series on 12 October with a talk on ‘The South Cave weapons cache – seven years on, what have we learned?’ This will be followed by Janet Tierney’s ‘Past times, past apparel – a look at costumes in the East Riding museum service collections’ on Tuesday, 19 October.
Janet is curator of Goole Museum and Skidby Windmill and Museum of East Riding Rural Life. The series concludes with what is sure to be a fascinating lecture by Dr Kevin Leahy on the Staffordshire Hoard, the UK’s largest haul of Anglo-Saxon gold treasure which was discovered by a metal detectorist in a field. Dr Leahy is responsible for documenting all the Staffordshire Hoard find and he is also the Council for British Archaeology’s national adviser on metalwork.
To book a place for the lectures, please complete the booking form in the Events brochure, available at all the council’s libraries and museums or ring 01482 392706/392699. The cost is £6 per lecture or £15 if all three are booked.
