Really enjoyed talking about Nottingham Castle excavations tonight, cheers Archaeology Nottingham and Nottingham IMR. Thanks for organising Chris King Will Bowden, and my panel of experts James Wright @NottArchaeology! And questions from UoN ArchSoc
Now’s the time (when isn’t it?) to to think about publishing in Thoroton Society Transactions if you have a history/archaeology of Nottinghamshire article. Get in touch with me or Chris King. We’re here to help and advise.

Thanks to Castle Studies Group for open access publishing my article on Tattershall Castle Castle in the 13th Century. Most scholarship has focused on the 15thC castle so this has been a great opportunity to look at the origins of the site. castlestudiesgroup.org.uk/CSGJ36-05-10-2… Archaeology Nottingham National Trust Archaeology
