Cusop History Group on Film!

 John Price has kindly sent me the link to the February meeting of Cusop History Group at Cusop Village Hall.

There's a talk about Cusop Castle by Tim Hoverd, the archaeologist from Herefordshire Council, and updates on the research that's been going on about Cusop Church.

Cusop Castle is on private land, and is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument, so no holes can be dug, or geophys a la Time Team done without applying for a license.  In the case of Cusop Church, a faculty would have to be applied for from the diocese for any archaeological work, but it would be fascinating to find out more about both sites.  Cusop Castle is a very unusual shape for a Border castle - there's no motte, and Cusop Church may once have had a round churchyard, which is a very early, Celtic, feature.

The meeting rounds off with a short AGM.

The new date for the Roman Roads to Railways talk is Thursday March 23rd, at 7pm, at Cusop Village Hall.  Cost is £3 for members, £5 for non-members, and includes wine.

Unfortunately, the film has copyright material in it, so can no longer be viewed publicly, so I have deleted the link.

(all the more reason to turn up to the next meeting in person!)
