CLASP at MK50

The MK50 History event being held as part of the MK50 celebrations, in Campbell Park, Milton Keynes on the 17th and 18th June.

CLASP will be providing a static exhibition that will be themed on
the link through the Watling Street between Romano-British Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire.

CLASP is most appreciative of a substantive donation from Milton Keynes Heritage Association for the reprinting of three of our Case Studies that are relevant to this event.

Details of the event can be seen at:-

Atlas of Hillforts: CLASP to attend award ceremony

The The Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland Project, that CLASP was deeply involved with by studying the hillforts of Northamptonshire, has won the University of Oxford’s Vice Chancellor’s Award for Public Engagement with Research. CLASP has been formally invited to attend the Awards Ceremony at Oxford. Dave Hayward, Chair of Trustees, will be attending to represent not only CLASP but also our colleague Gren Hatton who led our input but will be unable to attend.

Additionally Dave will also be attending the final Conference of the Atlas Project at Edinburgh University and will ensure that both our overall work and the leadership of Gren are aptly reflected.
