Our speakers tomorrow night @McDonaldInst will be our own @TomMidgley4 and his @oatweet colleague Laura Mitchell. “The Roman pottery industries of Horningsea and Colchester”. We will of course be remembering the great man as we sit beneath his watchful gaze. 😔
We’ll have a selection of handling objects available - a quantity of Horningsea pot sherds and kiln furniture, and then a more varied assemblage of local pottery sherds including nene valley colour coat, Samian and black burnished wares.
