WW1 School Film Hallaton
Hallaton in the Great War Project 2016
In this film, the children of Hallaton Church of England Primary School recite actual letters written by Hallaton lads at the front to the Rector, Revd. Preece, thanking him and the people of Hallaton for the parcels and letters they had received from the village.
The narrators also give an overview of what was happening - war is declared; the fighting; the war memorial and the 41 who would not return to the village.
This video was shared by Century of Stories, on behalf of Hallaton Museum. The video featured as part of Hallaton Museum's exhibition in 2016, in honour of the men from Hallaton who fought in the Great War 1914 - 1918.
Sutton Hoo helmet, British Museum
This is the famous Sutton Hoo helmet (a better term might be the Old English here-grima, or war-mask), on display in the British Museum. This is one of the items from the ship burial (in a large mound) found at Sutton Hoo, and it dates back to the early 7th century -- real primitive, Anglo-Saxon stuff. It's really very evocative, I think.
Surprisingly Modern-Looking Roman Artifacts at the British Museum
Personally I was amazed at the Roman locks, keys, and cooking gridiron. They look surprisingly similar to items we use today, or at least were used not that long ago. The cooking gridiron would come in just as handy for camping today as 2000 years ago.
British Museum: the Romano-British Thetford Treasure
The Thetford treasure was found in the late 1970s at Thetford in East Anglia by a metal-detector user. He didn't report it immediately and by the time he did reveal the find the site had been built over. However, if he hadn't found it when he had, no-one else would have found it so it's just as well it was discovered at all. It consists of 81 pieces including gold bracelets, gold rings, silver spoons, and a gold buckle. There are said to have been coins of Magnus Maximus (383-388) found with the hoard but those were dispersed before being recorded. They support the stylistic dating of the hoard to the end of the 4th century AD. Most of the jewellery has no traces of use, suggesting the owner was a jeweller and this was his stock. However, inscriptions on some of the spoons refer to the pagan woodland deity Faunus, an oddity so well into the Christian era. It is possible the owner had links to the late-Roman pagan revival, a response to the disillusionment with Christian faction-fighting. References on the spoons to drinking reflect an enthusiasm in Roman religion for insights gained through drunkenness, similar to those who believe narcotics offer the same route.

The Crosby Garrett Helmet is a copper alloy Roman cavalry helmet dating from the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD. It was found by an unnamed metal detectorist near Crosby Garrett in Cumbria, England, in May 2010. Later investigations found that a Romano-British farming settlement had occupied the site where the helmet was discovered, which was located a few miles away from a Roman road and a Roman army fort. It is possible that the owner of the helmet was a local inhabitant who had served with the Roman cavalry.
The helmet appears to have been deliberately folded up and deposited in an artificial stone structure. It is thought to have been used for ceremonial occasions rather than for combat, and may already have been an antique by the time it was buried. It is of the same type as the Newstead Helmet (found in 1905) and its design also has similarities with the Ribchester Helmet (found in 1796) and the Hallaton Helmet (found in 2000), though its facial features are more akin to those of helmets found in southern Europe. Its design may allude to the Trojans, whose exploits the Romans re-enacted in cavalry tournaments.
Dr Ralph Jackson, Senior Curator of Romano-British Collections at the British Museum, has described the helmet as ... an immensely interesting and outstandingly important find ... Its face mask is both extremely finely wrought and chillingly striking, but it is as an ensemble that the helmet is so exceptional and, in its specifics, unparalleled. It is a find of the greatest national (and, indeed, international) significance.
On 7 October 2010, the helmet was sold at Christie's for L2.3 million (US$3.6 million) to an undisclosed private buyer. Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery in Carlisle sought to purchase the helmet, with the support of the British Museum but was outbid. The helmet has so far been publicly displayed twice, once in a 2012 exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, and again at Tullie House in 2013–14.

Iron Age coins found in a cave:Untouched for more than 2,000 years-News Science
Iron Age coins found in a cave: 26 gold and silver pieces that have laid untouched for more than 2,000 years discovered in the Peak District
Four coins found by member of the public sparked full-scale search
Archaeologists discovered three Roman coins which pre-date the invasion of Britain in AD43
Site of coins may have been a sacred place to the Late Iron Age peoples
A precious hoard of Roman and Late Iron Age coins has been discovered in a cave where they have lain undisturbed for more than 2,000 years.
The treasure trove was initially unearthed by a member of the public, who stumbled across four coins in the cavern in Dovedale in the Peak District, sparking a full-scale excavation of the site.
Experts say the find is highly unusual as it is the first time coins from these two separate civilisations have been buried together.
And the setting itself adds to the mystery surrounding the discovery, as while Roman coins have often been found in fields, this is understood to be the first time they have been unearthed in a cave.
Archaeologists discovered 26 coins, including three Roman coins which pre-date the invasion of Britain in AD43, and 20 other gold and silver pieces which are Late Iron Age and thought to belong to the Corieltavi tribe.
National Trust archaeologist Rachael Hall said whoever owned the cache, which has been declared as 'treasure' by the authorities, was probably a wealthy and influential figure.
She said: 'The coins would suggest a serious amount of wealth and power of the individual who owned them.
Coins were used more as a symbol of power and status during the Late Iron Age, rather than for buying and selling staple foods and supplies. Was an individual simply hiding his 'best stuff' for safe keeping? Or, perhaps speculating, in the hope that the value would increase in the future, like a modern-day ISA?
'The situation of the cave can't be ignored either. Could it have been a sacred place to the Late Iron Age peoples that was taboo to enter in everyday life, making it a safe place that would ensure that person's valuables were protected?'
The largest hoard of Iron Age gold and silver coins ever found in Britain was discovered by an amateur archaeologist in 2000 near Hallaton in south east Leicestershire.
More than 5,000 coins and, jewellery and a silver-gilt Roman parade helmet were among the treasures discovered during that excavation.
The coins have been cleaned by conservation specialists at the British Museum and University College London and will go on permanent display at Buxton Museum later this year.

National Wonders - The Jorvik Viking Festival
Welcome to the second instalment of our National Wonders tour.
Back in February our intrepid roving reporter Ben visited the wonderful city of York and discovered history being brought well and truly to life.
Every year, the city is invaded by a rampaging but friendly horde of modern vikings as they bring their traditional crafts, culture and battle cries to life for adults and kids alike across the city streets.
As you’ll see, our Ben (son of John) got stuck in - making coins, arrowheads and even poo… err, yes you did read that right.
So join us as we ask once again: Is this really how the UK spends a day?
Roman Remains in Leicester
As building developments continued along Great Central Street and Vaughan Way in the city center a team of archaeologists from The University Of Leicester discovered several roman buildings and the biggest preserved mosaic found in the city for 30 years.
Also found among the ruins of the site thought to be over 1,500 years old where pots, cooking utensils, brooches and a rare sunken room thought to be a possible shrine.
My video shows a number of details at the site as it was opened up to a public eager to view the ruins of the cities roman past.
