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. https://t.co/7LzLLTZHGv

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.

Now’s the time (when isn’t it?) to to think about publishing in @ThorotonSociety Transactions if you have a history/archaeology of Nottinghamshire article. Get in touch with me or @Buildingbod. We’re here to help and advise.

A chance to see one of the Midland’s rarest artefacts in the new exhibition @nlamuseum co-curated by our very own Dr Chris King @Buildingbod. Unlike today, Wool = Wealth in the medieval period. #Archaeology #medieval #Nottingham @VisitNotts
A 500 year old tunic from the East Midlands is among the rare items in a new exhibition @LakesideArts #Nottingham. For the first time you can see the region's medieval cloth and clothing in one place. @UoNClassics @nlamuseum @CultureLeics @NottmCastle
