Events - Worcestershire Archive & Archaeology Service

Saturday 22 November saw our annual day of 8 talks celebrating and sharing recent investigations in Worcestershire. Talks included:

• Discovery of Roman swords in Willersey
• Updates from Milestone Ground – 14 month excavation of prehistoric to Saxon archaeology in Broadway
• Fascinating Finds of 2025
• 30 years of environmental archaeology in Worcestershire
• Your discoveries – highlights from the Portable Antiquities Scheme of local metal detecting and public finds

You haven’t missed out as talk recordings are still available. They will be sent out approximately a week after  event and will be available indefinitely, so that you can watch at your convenience.

Worcestershire Archives collects a broad range of documents and formats from a wide range of groups and individuals across the county.  This is an opportunity for potential depositors to drop in and have a chat with one of our archivists about  the types of archives we collect and how to deposit with us.

Please  do not bring archives with you as we will be unable to accept and process collections on the day.

No booking required.

To mark the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth we are offering a special Behind The Scenes Tour!

Jane may not have been from Worcestershire but she had strong connections with the County. She was a relative of the Sandys family – her nieces married into it – and had connections with the Lyttleton family too. Come and explore Jane’s family tree and see documents and drawings that shed light on Regency Worcestershire.

Light refreshments included.
