During the late mediaeval period England witnessed the innovative introduction of brick as a high-status building material. Used almost exclusively by elite patrons, much inspiration was gathered from brick buildings in mainland Europe. These architectural ideas were driven by widespread networks connected to itinerant brickmakers, the Teutonic Order and, especially, the Hanseatic League. On encountering these radical new ideas in building from the German, Dutch and Baltic states, English architecture was never quite the same again …… This talk will include some examples of brick buildings in Lincolnshire.

Presented by Dr Michael J Jones *** SOLD OUT *** Mick Jones will discuss why he decided to write this memoir, how he went about it and which sources he relied on. Digging Lincoln is his own personal account of how a record of the City of Lincoln's rich archaeology was recovered from the time of the early antiquaries through to the commercially funded professional teams of today. Drawing on his new publication, Digging Lincoln the author will recount his background and initiation into archaeology and describe how the archaeological team for the city of Lincoln operated over the next few decades. He will describe this exhilarating time, full of important archaeological discoveries, and demonstrate how appreciation of the importance of Lincoln’s archaeological story and its public presentation have grown remarkably, such that it has now become a major heritage destination.
