Local Heritage
| The AONB has numerous
long-established local history groups. Much
of their work is at a landscape rather than site-based scale. The
inventories that result from their work include details of
everything they encounter in the landscape.
Milk churns are recorded alongside burial grounds and they are
viewed as equally important clues about the way we used to
live.
The information which the groups gather, much of which is
previously unrecorded, is pieced together to create a holistic
picture. It is quite remarkable how much new and
exciting information has been discovered by the groups working in
the AONB. Without their work, a huge amount of
archaeology would remain unknown and could simply disappear without
trace.
New members are always welcome. No archaeological
experience is required as training and advice is given by
professional archaeologists. Group members are encouraged to
apply their own particular personal skills.
