Now firmly established as a historic landscape study group, we can be very proud of our achievements to date. Our Romano-British landscape investigations key into the regional and national parish boundary field and research studies. Our field survey reports which are registered with the historic environment record, present a growing body of evidence that helps to inform our understanding in regard to how our historic landscapes have evolved over the centuries.
HIGHLIGHTS OF CURRENT PROJECT
During 2019 we celebrated our 20th year of time travel, a journey that has informed a ten year vision that will build on the learning we have shared from over twenty years of evidence based field survey work.
The foundation for our Historic Landscape Study Framework 2020-2030, is the strength and trust of our landowner relationships, without whom, none of this would be possible. We are also greatly indebted to our heritage sector colleagues, families and friends for their continuing support, encouragement and kindness.
The attached image features the seven lead projectiles (found in Nottinghamshire) that led to a national collaborative artefact study development meeting with Jonathan Ferguson (Keeper of Firearms & Artillery) and lead projectile consultant Justin Russel, at the Royal Armouries (Leeds) on Thursday 27 June 2019.
Each of our field survey reports now feature a section particularly focused on recording the location, size and weight of lead shot and musket balls. This adopted methodology will provide a unique and previously unknown local landscape record for further study and dissemination.

Next year at the festival we are planning to feature our learning from the initial phase of the Bunny Park Grounds Investigation – What the Nighthawks Took Away.
