Discover the fascinating history of Lincolnshire through its archaeological record at our event!Welcome to ‘Putting Lincolnshire’s Archaeology on the Map’ with Richard Watts event at Grantham Museum !
Join us for a fascinating journey through Lincolnshire's rich archaeological past. Discover hidden treasures, ancient artifacts, and uncover the mysteries of our historical heritage.
Lincolnshire is a county rich in fascinating history and archaeology, with evidence ranging from our earliest Stone Age inhabitants, earthworks of many deserted medieval villages, and military structures from 20th century conflicts, amongst many other captivating remains. Evidence of this abundant heritage is detailed in the Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record (LHER), the database of all the known archaeological sites, finds and historic buildings in the county. In this talk, Richard Watts will give details about how information in the HER can be accessed, along with describing how you can make the best use of a wide range of other online resources and educational tools to investigate the past of your local area.
