SUMMARY:William Marwood: Cobbler\, Preacher\, Hangman - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Running from 25th June to 30th September\,William Marwood: Cobbler\, Preacher\, Hangman tells the story of the man who rose from humble beginnings in the Lincolnshire Wolds to become the most well-known executioner of the Victorian age\, and pioneer of the “long drop” method of hanging\, which he developed here in Lincolnshire. \nThe exhibition explores Marwood’s complex character and the truth behind his reputation. Visitors can also discover more about crime and punishment in Victorian Britain\, and Marwood’s role in some of the most notorious criminal cases that shocked 19th century society. \nDrawing on original research by Society members and material from their Town Archive\, the exhibition places Marwood within the community where he lived. It reveals the roots of a figure who became a household name in Victorian England\, and whose waxwork once graced the Chamber of Horrors at Madame Tussaud’s. \nThe exhibition is open Thursday to Saturday\, 10am–4pm\, from 25 June to 30 September at the Joseph Banks Centre in Horncastle. It is free to visit\, but all donations towards the upkeep of the Society’s Town Archive are warmly received.

SUMMARY:TALK: Oliver Cromwell was here?
DESCRIPTION:Given that the Civil Wars of the mid-seventeenth century were among the bloodiest conflicts in British history\, it is unsurprising that they should live on in both popular and local memory. The figure of Oliver Cromwell\, above all others\, has given rise to many local myths and legends. This talk will explore the ways the English Civil Wars have been remembered\, forgotten and commemorated in Lincolnshire (particularly in and around Horncastle)\, revealing the rich and contested afterlife of the conflict from the seventeenth century down to the present day. \nPresented by Dr Jonathan Fitzgibbons. \nAdmission fee £5 non members\, £2 members

SUMMARY:TALK: Medieval Standing Crosses in Lincolnshire
DESCRIPTION:Most\, if not all\, English medieval churchyards once contained one or more standing crosses of stone or timber to mark the sacred ground containing the mortal remains of its parishioners. Standing crosses were also built on marketplaces and village greens. They were a familiar feature of the medieval landscape\, but most were systematically demolished between 1547 and 1643.\n\nThe remains of about 200 later medieval standing stone crosses still survive in Lincolnshire. In this lecture Dave will talk about what these crosses represented\, how they were used and what remains of them today. \nDave Start is an archaeologist who came to Lincolnshire in 1988 to set up and run the Heritage Trust of Lincolnshire. He was CEO there until he retired in 2013. Dave continues to dabble in Lincolnshire archaeology and is the editor of the SLHA journal\, Lincolnshire History and Archaeology. \n\nHe has a website about the subject at www.lincscrosses.org.uk\nAdmission charge £2 members\, £5 non members \nImage: The churchyard cross at Tetford (Richard Croft)
