On Tuesday 10 November, I joined Kim Smith on Radio Northwich’s Good Morning Show to talk about Warrington’s possible medieval castle near St Elphin’s and the project bringing local people into its story.
We discussed the historical records and landscape survey clues guiding our research, the questions that still need answering, and the work to establish Warrington Archaeological Group as a way for local people to take part in archaeology, research and learning.
The clues give us grounds to investigate, but they do not yet prove what each feature represents or exactly what survives below ground. Our next aim is a professionally led archaeological evaluation at St Elphin’s Park. We are developing the project design and funding needed to take that forward.
My music choices for the programme were:
• James, “Ring the Bells”
• Vangelis, “Conquest of Paradise”
• Future Islands, “A Dream of You and Me”
• John Lunn & Eivør, “The Last Kingdom”
The edited recording contains our conversation only. The programme music and adverts have been removed.
