Digging a possible Saxon chapel in North Yorkshire	We have now moved to our new venue at the Rothwell Community Hub Find out more and how you can get involved Following on from our first highly successful talks evenings: Wednesday 26th July 2017 The Lost Kingdom of Elmet This talk aims to shed light on the Dark Ages by examining the evidence for the British Kingdom of Elmet, one of several small principalities which sprang up after the Roman administration collapsed. Consideration of the scattered and fragmentary information offers a fascinating glimpse of life in the landscape of South and West Yorkshire 1,500 years ago. Dave offers courses and talks on many aspects of local history and archaeology.  This talk focuses on a period of history which is becoming better understood with recent research and discoveries.
