An author from the University of Cambridge will be holding a talk about her new book at The Fenland Archaeological Society.
Dr Susan Oosthuizen has just published her latest book The Anglo-Saxon Fenland.
The talk will take place on Wednesday April 25 at Mendi’s restaurant in Wisbech starting at 7.30pm and will finish the groups series of winter talks.
The book reveals a ‘traditional landscape managed by relatively prosperous communities who lived in stable societies into which newcomers from north-west Europe were absorbed’.
Susan Oosthuizen directs programmes in the historic environment (landscape and garden history/archaeology) at the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), and is attached to the University Of Cambridge Department Of Archaeology.
She is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge, and a former President of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. She delivered the 2012 Hoskins Lecture on ‘Medieval Open Fields and Their Origins’.
The winter talks have proved extremely popular so booking is essential.
The meeting is open to all for a small charge of £2.
Those interested should email info@fenarch.org.uk or text 07742321774.
