We are sorry to report that our Field Studies night next week will no longer host Chris Hannard as he is no longer able to attend. We will continue therefore with our work on the Holme on Spalding Moor waster pottery from the Skiff Lane Romano-British kilns. For those who haven't attended our Field Studies night yet we are currently recording the rims of the pottery collection affectionately known as 50 Shades of Grey! If you are interested in coming along we look forward to seeing you at 7.30 pm at St Nicholas' Parish Rooms on Holmechurch Lane in Beverley. If you want any further information please message us - we are here to help!
