First Friday Speakers at Hope Community Library Recently updated !

First Friday Speakers

Dr Erin Lloyd Jones

Friday 5th July (7:00PM)

Great news! We have Dr Erin Lloyd Jones as the guest speaker for the First Friday talk at Hope Community Library on Friday 5th July 7pm. Erin often appears with Derek Brockway on Weatherman Walking on BBC TV. Erin will be speaking on Hillforts of the Clwydian Range.

There are over 500 prehistoric hillforts in Wales alone. Dating from the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, around 2500 years ago, the lack of a written language, little use of pottery and coins, and poor artefact survival, these massive monuments remain a mystery.

Erin shines a light (in some cases, quite literally!) on what history and archaeology can tell us about these sites including what they were for, who built them and why. Erin will share what her own research and studies over the past 15 years have unearthed about our local hillforts: from houses and hoards to human remains.
