I am a buildings archaeologist at The University of Nottingham - specialising in medieval and early modern architecture. All views and recommendations my own.
We had a brilliant time yesterday showcasing how digital technology can be used to experience and reimagine Nottingham’s caves! A huge thank you to our participants for sharing their expertise and enthusiasm for Nottingham’s heritage #CityofCaves
Thanks to @Castle_Studies for open access publishing my article on @NTTattershall Castle in the 13th Century. Most scholarship has focused on the 15thC castle so this has been a great opportunity to look at the origins of the site.

Thank you to local communities of Nottingham, so far we have had almost 450participants on our @BeingHumanFest & we are only half way through the festival. Thank you to our collaborators, venues, tour guides, event managers, assistants & janitors who help ensure this run smoothly

Over 300 people have attended our events so far, & we are only 1/3 through the @BeingHumanFest. Tonight we have more tours of the @WollatonHall caves, tmr we will be at @cityofcaves providing you with more cave heritage goodness.

Great to visit @UoNArch students in the final days of this year’s ‘We dig…Wollaton’ with @YArchaeology! Despite challenging weather they’ve made great progress - more signs of the Willoughby’s lost greenhouse emerging.
