In August the Kingsbury Time Travellers invited us to attend a day of archaeological workshops at Kingsbury Episcopi Church. They had organised a lot of activities for the MAYANS to try, including Anglo Saxon calligraphy with authentic quills and ink; using a dino-lite microscope to examine archaeological artefacts and work out what they were and what they were made of; plus drawing an accurate and to scale floor plan of the church. Our members were divided into three groups and each group was given the chance to try out all the different activities.
We were also visited by the local bell ringers who gave us a wonderful guided tour up the church tower and into the bell chamber. The MAYANS were able to try their hand at bell ringing which was a fantastic opportunity! We were then allowed up onto the top of the tower where the views were spectacular.
A big thank you to Adrian and Helen and all the other volunteers who gave up their rime to organise and run such a varied and inspiration range of activities for us.
