Dear all, I hope this email finds everyone well. A reminder of next week's LCMRS afternoon seminar, see details and Zoom link below. Our speaker, Dr Swallow, is currently an Honorary Fellow in the Department of Archaeology, Classics & Egyptology here at Liverpool. She is also a member of the UKRI Future Leader’s Fellow project, 'The Human Remains: Digital Library', where she contributes to research on exhumation in and around British church sites between the 7th and 19th centuries. I look forward to seeing some of you then! Best wishes, Dr Anna French Wednesday April 28 2021, 4pm, Dr Rachel E. Swallow (Liverpool), Castle in Context: Aldford Castle, Cheshire The sitings of Cheshire’s castles in the northern Anglo-Welsh borderlands landscape was arrived at in a context interplay between contemporary administrative units, Mercian palaces and halls and religious holdings on both a parochial and bishopric level. Anglo-Norman castle sites were therefore expressions of the spatial arrangements of Mercian and Anglo-Norman landscapes. Aldford Castle, Cheshire, is scheduled as a motte-and bailey castle, and was later modified in stone. Comprehensive, multi-disciplinary and previously unpublished material and research have provided published interpretations (2012) as to the date of build of the castle, and the establishment of its designed landscape. Yet wider contextualisation of the form and location of Aldford Castle highlights that only when many and disparate factors are fully explored can a valid explanation of its origins and evolution be provided. This paper will offer an argument for what such a closer examination might look like. Zoom link: Anna French is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
