Stonehenge, a TASLA Special Interest Day

Stonehenge is the most famous and sophisticated prehistoric stone circle in the British Isles, an inspiration to painters and poets for centuries and a puzzle to early antiquarians. There can be no better guide to its architectural layout and construction, its possible uses and the maze of new discoveries and recent theories than our speaker, an experienced archaeologist who has specialised in Stonehenge and its surrounding area. Julian has frequently appeared on BBC programmes, like Meet the Ancestors. His talk for us last February, A Potted History of Britain, was a comprehensive and entertaining survey of Britain’s pots from the Neolithic to Now, and he has recently curated a permanent display of ceramics for Salisbury Museum and Art Gallery.

The cost of the day will be £55, comprising speaker’s fee and expenses, venue hire, morning coffee on arrival at 10.30 and a soup and sandwich lunch around 1 pm. The day will finish ca. 3.30 pm.
