| Monday, January 28, 2013 Monday, March 11, 2013 | | The History and Archaeology of Monasteries | 6.30pm - 9.30pm |
The History and Archaeology of Monasteries
Monasticism began in Egypt in the third century and had spread into England by the early sixth century, but this early monastic phase was almost completely swept away by Danish raiders in the ninth century. Following the Norman invasion, monasteries are re-founded with massive enthusiasm and the landscape of the British Isles is radically changed for the next 400 years. Lincolnshire has a lion's share of these medieval abbeys and priories and although we have only a few imposing ruins, the sites of our lost abbeys still hold many secrets and surprises.
Led by David Start, this six week course will look at the monastic way of life and the surviving archaeology of some of the abbey sites exploring their history from foundation to the present day.
Please note the six sessions will run on consecutive weeks from 28th January 2013 to 18th February 2013 and from 4th March 2013 to 11th March 2013. There will not be a session on 25th February 2013.
The course is funded by the GROW lifelong learning programme managed by Lincolnshire County Council. Courses are open to all aged 19 or above on 31st August 2012.

Building Lincolnshire: mud and stud and brick buildings
Throughout the world places are distinctive because of their architecture which in turn is dictated by geology, topography, economy and fashion. Lincolnshire has its own special distinctive architecture which has responded to these factors throughout human history. This two session course, led by David Start, will look at the history and technology of architecture in Lincolnshire, starting with archaeological examples through to the modern day. It will focus on the emphasis on timber and earth building in Lincolnshire (Mud and Stud) prevalent from early medieval to the industrial period and discuss the enormous impact and importance of brick in Lincolnshire’s landscape.
The course fee is £15.00 (£2.50 per hour) and concessions are available. If you are a new learner the course is free. For further information about payment and concessions use the following link: GROW_FEES_POLICY_Heritage_Lincolnshire.pdf

Jews’ Court, 2-3 Steep Hill, Lincoln, LN2 1LS
Join Dr Shirley Brook for this two hour talk on Victorian Model Farms.
Most of the surviving historic farm buildings in Lincolnshire were constructed in the nineteenth century. Some developed piecemeal in response to changes in agricultural practice while others were planned and built all at one time. These planned and model farm buildings give us an insight into the thinking about best practice in agriculture at the time they were erected. They also reflect the ideas and aspirations of those who commissioned their construction. Linking a substantial number of photographs of such buildings to nineteenth-century drawings, plans and articles, the talk will introduce and examine this important class of rural buildings.
Refreshments will be provided. Booking is essential due to limited availability, see www.lincshar.org for details.
