SUMMARY:Nenthead big dig
DESCRIPTION:Get involved in an archaeological dig taking place in Nenthead this summer. No experience is necessary. We are investigating the domestic lives of the lead miners who lived and worked in Nenthead in the past. \nThe dates for the digs are 1 to 4 August and 6 to 11 August\, 10am to 4pm each day. Meeting point is Nenthead Village Hall. Each day has a limit of eight spaces available. \nSupervised by professional archaeologists\, this is a chance to have a go at real hands-on archaeology. Suitable for ages six years and up. All children must be supervised by an adult (please book a space for each child and adult that would like to attend). \nVolunteers and local community members\, with a professional archaeologist\, will dig a series of small test pits in gardens and fields around the village. We are likely to find things like broken pottery\, bits of clay pipes\, and maybe some broken personal items\, such as toys and buttons. \nYou don’t need any special equipment as this will be provided. \nThe digs are free to attend. Donations are welcome and enable the North Pennines National Landscape team to protect and restore this special place and help people connect with nature. \nSign up using the link to Ticketsource \n\n\n\n                \n                \n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:'Diaries of a crank' - decoding the secret diaries of an assayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us online on Monday 10 August\, 6pm to 8pm\, to learn about Nenthead’s most eccentric Edwardian\, Caldwell Harpur\, who left behind 20 volumes of personal diaries\, all encrypted in his self-invented alphabet\, which he called “Lenish”. \nCaldwell was a dabbler in mysticism\, a lifelong vegetarian\, a science fiction author\, and an avid book collector. He also wrote compulsively\, corresponding with everyone from close family to Russian radicals\, spiritualist mediums\, and science fiction author\, H.G. Wells. \nThis event launches an exciting new volunteer project to decode the diaries that Caldwell kept every day during his 20 years in Nenthead. There will be an illustrated talk exploring his stranger-than-fiction life\, followed by an optional activity where participants can try their hand at deciphering his code. Suitable for ages 18+. \nSign up using the Ticketsource link below: \n\n\n                \n                \n\n \n  \n  \n  \n
