Workshops with Barbara…
I will be running a number of workshops where we will work together to unearth the many stories this body has to tell. We will hunt out and decipher the evidence, collect local stories and memories, and piece together a picture of the events surrounding the burial and the discovery of the body. All are welcome to get involved, whether you want to delve into the archives, carry out online searches, or come along to talk about the evidence and what it tells us. You might have local knowledge to share: whether this is about the characters involved in the story, or their descendants; about the local landscape and weather patterns, the ancient roadways, and the old mine works; or traditional songs and stories about Weardale. You need no previous experience, just a sense of curiosity. And there will be plenty to do no matter how much, or how little, time you have to give. I am very excited about being involved in this project and I hope you will be too.”
