2022 Programme
12 January (Weds) ~~ by ZOOM ~~
Stephen Mileson: 'Peasant perceptions of Landscape, Ewelme Hundred'
Our speaker is Stephen Mileson, who is an inspiring landscape historian with a strong academic track record.
Between 2012 – 15 Stephen initiated and lead the Oxford University research project: “Peasant Perceptions of Landscape: Ewelme Hundred, South Oxfordshire, c500-1650”
This South Oxfordshire Project is an ambitious programme of research on the south Oxfordshire vale and Chilterns covering the early Middle Ages to the seventeenth century. Its objective is to investigate how inhabitants shaped their social world and identity in relation to the places in which they lived. The project has provided a sustained analysis of ordinary rural people's experiences and outlook in the medieval and early modern periods and offered new insights into villagers' construction of social space and the way that settlement layouts influenced behaviour. More than 1,000 years of local history were studied, drawing on extensive records in manorial documents, place-name history, and archaeology.
9 February (Weds) ~~ by ZOOM ~~
Jonathan Clark: 'Lincoln Castle Revealed'
Our speaker, Jonathan Clark, is the Lincoln Cathedral Archaeologist. Jonathan has led a team of archaeologists, historians and volunteers to better understand Lincoln Castle by excavations undertaken from 2008 to 2014.
These became the foundations for the ‘Lincoln Castle Revealed’ project, a four-year, £22 million plan to create a new visitors centre, a vault to house the Magna Carta and Charter of the Forest, and restore Lincoln Castle Prison.
Lincoln Castle is one of England’s greatest castles and covers history from the Roman fortress of Lindum Colonia to the present day.
The project has recently been awarded a grant for an ambitious 3-D reconstruction of the 12th-century form of Lincoln Castle.
It will be interesting to compare and contrast Lincoln and Wallingford Castles!
9 March (Weds) ~~ by ZOOM ~~
Ben Taggart: ‘Historic Reconstruction in Miniature’
Ben Taggart will talk about his career as a specialist architectural modelmaker, running what must be one of Britain’s smallest businesses.
Ben’s work re-creating lost buildings in the form of highly detailed architectural models has spanned a career of over 25 years. His combination of skills in interpreting contemporary maps and paintings, creating architectural drawings from site surveys, and ultimately making three-dimensional models has led to a reputation for meticulous detail and historical accuracy. In a short talk Ben will discuss how he took on the challenge of unlocking the secrets of Wallingford Castle and what it took to build the model for Wallingford Museum.

13 April (Weds) - at St Mary's Church, Wallingford
Marie-Louise Kerr: 'Oxfordshire on Canvas'
Marie-Louise’s presentation ‘Oxfordshire on Canvas’ is a visual tour of Oxfordshire which looks at how artists, both national and local, have captured our beautiful area and been influenced by it. Some of the artists included are:
- George Dunlop Leslie (who lived and painted in Wallingford)
- Paul Nash (who created many works featuring The Wittenham Clumps)
- John Piper (whose works are celebrated at the River & Rowing Museum)
Marie-Louise’s background is in Ancient History, but she has looked after social history collections, military collections, textile collections and history of science collections as well as archaeology and art.
She has over 15 years' experience in the heritage sector. Working as a Curator, she looked after museum collections and developed exhibitions around the country. Marie-Louise regularly gave curator’s talks and tours and always enjoyed the interaction with visitors and audiences of all backgrounds and ages. She loves researching artefacts and sharing the stories she uncovers, getting people passionate about history. Setting up her own public speaking business, ‘Curator Without Museum’, seemed a good next step.

Melanie King: 'Can onions cure earache? Medical Advice in the 18th century'
This is an amusing but serious talk by writer Melanie King, on how people tried to keep healthy and cure themselves during the eighteenth century. It will help us to appreciate modern health care systems based on germ theory, antibiotics and the use of anaesthetic.
Melanie has published eight books. Her passion is to make history come alive and she always wants to make sure that there is always at least one factoid, strange, but true, that you take away.
The average life expectancy in the eighteenth century was 44 years, often much less for women due to the dangers of childbirth. The eighteenth century was not a healthy time to be alive. If you got sick, your options were limited: blood letting, vomiting and applying or consuming herbs, or anything you thought might cure you. Remedies included applying mercury to a cancerous lump, bathing or drinking in spa water contaminated with disease, or applying either fried leeks in butter or live leeches to your haemorrhoids.
8 June (Weds) - by Zoom ONLY
We regret that Gabor Thomas, our TWHAS speaker is suffering from a chest infection which makes it unwise for him to travel to Wallingford to give his talk in person. He has, however, kindly offered to do the talk from home by Zoom, so we are able to go ahead with this alternative arrangement.
Gabor Thomas: 'The Marlow warlord and the rediscovered church at Cookham: A review of early medieval archaeology of the Middle Thames'
Archaeologists have discovered a long-lost royal site at Cookham that played a key part in the rise of London as England’s dominant political and economic centre. The current excavations – directed by archaeologist Dr Gabor Thomas – have, so far, produced thousands of Anglo-Saxon finds, including iron tools, bronze jewellery, ceramic food vessels, kitchen pots and food debris.
Near the Thames-side village of Cookham, the archaeologists have discovered the extensive remains of a large monastery established in around 700AD probably by a king of the Midlands-based Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia. The royally ruled riverside monastery was specifically located in order to secure crucial road and river communications.
Indeed, Mercia’s aspirations, to exercise control over the Thames (and thus over London), were so crucial that it appointed its former queen, Cynethryth as the monastery’s boss. She was one of the most important women in all Anglo-Saxon history – the only woman whose head features on Anglo-Saxon coins.
Our speaker Dr Gabor Thomas, an Associate Professor at the University of Reading and a leading expert on early medieval archaeology, says: “The site is of national importance. It’s extremely rare to find such a wide range of Anglo-Saxon artefacts and such high-quality preservation.”

Janice Kinory: 'Oxford Past and Present - Images from the Historic Environment Image Resource (HEIR) Project'
Since the mid-19th century, photography has provided a virtual time machine, allowing us to visit crystallised moments of the past, discovering what has changed from our own perspectives. In the 21st century, the ability to scan pictures and share them online offers the opportunity for wider distribution of images than ever before. This is the story of how one of Oxford’s online image archives allows illuminating access to the past, providing insights into changes through time from the perspective of archaeology.
Our speaker, Dr Janice Kinory, is a Research Associate at the University of Oxford School of Archaeology working on the Historic Environment Image Resource (HEIR) project, tagging old images to track archaeology, landscape and people over time.

Simon Wenham: 'Poverty, Pestilence and Public Health'
Britain may have been the ‘workshop of the world’ in the Victorian period, but the sceptre of poverty and pestilence loomed large over the lives of many of its citizens. A large proportion of people were not only close to the bread line, but repeated epidemics decimated whole swathes of the population. This talk explores the wealth and health of the British during the Victorian period and the State’s struggle to improve conditions.

'Beacons of the Past: Citizen Science and LiDAR shedding light on the history of the Chilterns landscape'
- presented by Dr Edward Peveler (Landscape Heritage Officer, Chilterns Conservation Board)
The results of the UK’s largest ever archaeological LiDAR survey have recently been made publicly available for citizen science analysis. The 1400 km2 survey, covering the Chilterns AONB and its surroundings, records the topography of the landscape in great detail. Any archaeological sites surviving as earthworks, even just a few centimetres high, will be detected, giving us evidence of people living and working in the region from the Neolithic to the 20th Century. The technique is particularly powerful in wooded landscapes, able to show up sites beneath the tree canopy where archaeological survey has traditionally been very difficult; with more than 20% tree coverage, the Chilterns AONB has many secrets to reveal. In this talk Dr Ed Peveler will be introducing this Lottery-funded project, explaining more about the survey, letting us know how we can access the data to do our own archaeological exploring, and showing us some of the exciting results that are already emerging.
Dr Ed Peveler is the Landscape Heritage Officer at the Chilterns Conservation Board, responsible for the technical elements of the Beacons of the Past project, and for the development and delivery of volunteering opportunities such as skills workshops. Prior to joining CCB, Ed completed his AHRC-funded DPhil at the University of Oxford, investigating the process of construction and building materials in Roman Oxfordshire. He also worked as Assistant Director of the University of Oxford excavations at the Roman small town of Dorchester on Thames between 2014 and 2017, and has excavated at sites in Britain, Italy, Albania, Tunisia, and India.
