SUMMARY:Metal Detectorist's World!
DESCRIPTION:Metal Detectorist’s World! \nJoin us at FRAG for wintery nibbles and an intriguing talk from a small group of local detectorists. \nDiscover what the world of a metal detectorist is really like – from understanding the legal responsibilities that guide the hobby\, to building relationships with landowners and researching the rich history of the landscape. They will also discuss the group’s work with the Finds Liaison Officers and how their finds contribute to the national Portable Antiquities Scheme\, with many recorded on the finds.org.uk database. \nThere will be a chance to chat informally and explore a finds table showcasing genuine local artefacts and opportunity to get hands on with the latest tech in metal detectors and practice making your own finds! \nWhether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or simply curious about the stories buried below\, this is a unique opportunity not to be missed! \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNon-members welcome – £5 cash\, payable on the night\n(card payment not currently possible) \nThe Venue for FRAG Talks is: \nUniversity Centre Peterborough\nPark Crescent\nPE1 4DZ \nWhat3words:  https://w3w.co/grants.liner.slime \nThis is NOT the new university building in the centre of the city\, but is on a shared campus with Peterborough College and is accessed from Park Crescent. \nThere is on-site parking available. \nThe lecture theatre is on the first floor; a lift is available. \nGoogle Map

SUMMARY:Tudor Christmas
DESCRIPTION:A Tudor Christmas \nEvent organised by Peterborough Museum \nJoin Alison Weir & Siobhan Clarke \nWe might assume that our modern Christmas owes much to the Victorians. In fact\, as Alison Weir and Siobhan Clarke reveal\, many of our favourite Christmas traditions date back much further. Carol-singing\, present-giving\, mulled wine and mince pies were all just as popular in Tudor times\, and even Father Christmas and roast turkey dinners have their origins in this period. \nThe Tudor Christmas was a time of feasting\, revelry and merrymaking\, a twelve-day-long festival\, over which the Lord of Misrule held sway\, and convention was thrown to the winds. Christmas was so beloved by English people that its traditions survived remarkably unchanged in this age of tumultuous religious upheaval. \nThis event will be followed by a book signing of their book ‘A Tudor Christmas’.

SUMMARY:Hereward the Wake
DESCRIPTION:Hereward the Wake \nThis talk gives a brief survey of our authentic sources of information about Hereward and the most recent research on his parentage and the status of his family in pre-Conquest England. This is followed by a narrative account of his life as evidenced by these sources illustrating how\, in common with many heroic narratives\, the surviving stories of his early life combine mythical and semi-magical incidents with authentic historical events. Then follows his banishment from England\, his military career and marriage in Flanders\, his return to England in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest and his resistance to the invaders with the involvement of Morcar\, the Northern rebels and King Swein of Denmark\, culminating with an account of his leadership of the last resistance to King William with the Isle of Ely as his base. The talk ends with a survey of current theories about Hereward’s subsequent survival and the manner of his death\, and a consideration of what we are looking for in our heroes and why public awareness of them can rise and fall over time. \nSpeaker:  Mike Lynch \nMike was born in Manchester and read English Language and Literature at Oxford University. He taught English for several years in schools and colleges and was subsequently called to the Bar at the Middle Temple\, specialising as a consultant in Employment Law. He is married with two grown-up children and for many years lived in Staffordshire where he served as a County Councillor. Now retired\, he lives in the Cambridge area and teaches courses on Dickens\, Jane Austen and George Eliot at the University of the Third Age in Cambridge. He is a member of the Dickens Fellowship and a member of the Royal Society of Literature. He is currently working on a book of limericks. Since he came to live in the Cambridge area Mike has developed an interest in the life and achievements of one local hero\, Hereward the Wake\, and has delivered several lectures on this illustrious figure. \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNon-members welcome – £5 cash\, payable on the night\n(card payment not currently possible) \nThe Venue for FRAG Talks is: \nUniversity Centre Peterborough\nPark Crescent\nPE1 4DZ \nWhat3words:  https://w3w.co/grants.liner.slime \nThis is NOT the new university building in the centre of the city\, but is on a shared campus with Peterborough College and is accessed from Park Crescent. \nThere is on-site parking available. \nThe lecture theatre is on the first floor; a lift is available. \nGoogle Map
