@KTDnorfolk @AncientHouseMus Maybe we could say this book by Thomas Paine? It's the French version of his Rights of Man in support of the ideals of the French Revolution. Thetford-born Paine was the best selling author of the 18th century and was super famous in his day!

Thank you to St Cuthbert's Church for letting us visit.

#VikingThursday
Aestels (pointers) guided readers' attention along a page of script. Only about 12 have been found in Britain. This gold animal-headed example once had gemstones for eyes. It may have been buried to hide it from Viking raiders.

The Seahenge and Holme II timbers are not the only Bronze Age artefacts uncovered at Holme Beach. Below are two axes, a chisel and a button made from bronze.

These objects are part of our new exhibition Hoards: Archaeological Treasures from West Norfolk.
