SUMMARY:Houseman’s Engine House Community Consultation
DESCRIPTION:Following our acquisition of Houseman’s Engine House this January\, we will be hosting a community consultation day about the site. \nDue to the current closure of Linkinhorne Parish Hall\, the consultation will take place at Darite Village Hall\, Darite\, Liskeard\, Cornwall\, PL14 5JH. A second consultation will take place later this year within Linkinhorne Parish. \nThe consultation is not only an opportunity for the local community to meet our team\, but also to offer ideas and suggestions for the future of the site\, as well as information on its history and place in the local community. \nWe’re especially keen for you to share your experiences\, memories and photographs of the site.  \nThe charity has already met with the local councillor and reached out to the parish council. It will continue to work closely with them and other stakeholders throughout this process. \n\nAbout the site\nHouseman’s Engine House was part of the 19th-century South Phoenix Mine complex. It was transformed into Minions Heritage Centre in the 1990s. The centre closed in early 2020 and the building is not currently open to the public.  \nHouseman’s Engine House was likely constructed in 1881 and named in honour of the Company Chairman at the time. It sat over Houseman’s Shaft and was built for the last big pumping engine made in Cornwall. This was fabricated at Holman’s Foundry in Camborne. \nThe mine survived for longer than many of its neighbours but\, by 1898\, it was abandoned and the equipment sold for scrap and most of the buildings demolished. \nThe engine house was purchased and restored by Caradon District Council in the 1990s as part of the Minions area heritage project. The project saw the building transformed into Minions Heritage Centre\, a free-to-visit exhibition about the history\, archaeology and ecology of the surrounding area. The centre was closed in early 2020.  \nIn 2024\, Cornwall Heritage Trust undertook a project in conjunction with Cornwall Council to establish solutions to issues with the building\, which could potentially result in the reopening of this invaluable community space and visitor attraction.

SUMMARY:Castle an Dinas (West) Community Consultation
DESCRIPTION:Following our acquisition of Castle an Dinas (West) last December\, we will be hosting a community consultation day about the site. \nLocation: Gilbert Hall\, Nancledra\, TR20 8NA – What3Words: ///shuts.standards.rides \nThis public consultation session is an opportunity for the local community to meet the Trust and provide ideas and suggestions for the future of the site as well as information on its history and place in the local community. \nWe’re especially keen for you to share your experiences\, memories and photographs of the site.  \n\nAbout the site \nCastle an Dinas (West) is a small multivallate hillfort situated at the summit of a broad hill on Tonkins Downs\, with extensive views of Mounts Bay. Hillforts of this kind are rare\, with around 100 examples recorded across the UK. \nStanding prominently on the hillfort’s inner rampart is Rogers’ Tower\, a late 18th-century folly built for the Rogers family who owned nearby Treassowe Manor. The tower is a listed building Grade II. \nIn the heathland to the north of the hillfort are the remains of extensive prehistoric and medieval field systems. To the south-west\, the small fields of a 19th-century smallholding have utilised the ramparts of the hillfort as part of their field system. Both folly and farmstead are important features in the landscape in this part of Cornwall. \nThe site lies within Cornwall National Landscape and includes a scheduled area which centres around the hillfort. It is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Country Wildlife Area\, as well as being common land.

SUMMARY:A Cornish Story Café – Land’s End to the Levant: Exploring the Bronze-Iron Age tin trade across Europe and the Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Additional tickets for this talk will be released at 7pm on Tuesday 24th March.\n\nJoin us online for a special talk by Dr Benjamin Roberts\, Associate Professor of Later European Prehistory at Durham University\, on the Bronze-Iron Age tin trade across Europe and the Mediterranean and its links to Cornwall.\nDate: Tuesday 31st March\nTime: 6.30pm – 7.30pm\nLocation: Online \nPrice: Pay as you feel (£5\, £10 or £15) \nIn around 2200 BCE\, Britain and Ireland were the first regions in Europe to completely switch over from copper to bronze metal\, typically with around 10% tin. This change spread across the rest of Bronze Age Europe and the Mediterranean over the following centuries. As Cornwall and Devon possessed the richest tin deposits in Europe\, readily accessible in numerous valleys with relatively easy access to the sea for trading\, there has long been speculation that tin from this region was traded across the continent. \nIn this talk\, Dr Roberts explores ‘Project Ancient Tin’\, which sought to ‘fingerprint’ tin ores to tin artefacts from Britain to the East Mediterranean to re-evaluate the European Bronze Age (c.2200–800 BCE) tin trade. \nThe results of the project not only demonstrate the existence of an international tin trade from Cornwall and Devon that reached as far as the southern Levant by c. 1300 BCE\, but suggest a far larger scale and impact than has previously been appreciated. \nArchaeological evidence for Bronze Age tin workings has been growing in recent years\, and it is proposed that tin production was decentralised\, with agriculture still dominant but with numerous small alluvial tin workings. The tin would be taken to coastal Ictis-type trading places as famously described by the traveller Pytheas of Massalia in c.320 BCE. \nIn seeking to understand these potential tin trading places\, a new collaborative pilot project undertook a survey and the first-ever excavations at St Michael’s Mount\, located in the heart of the tin mining district of West Cornwall and long thought to have been the Ictis of the Classical sources. \n\nAbout Dr Roberts \nDr Benjamin Roberts is an Associate Professor of Later European Prehistory at the Department of Archaeology\, Durham University. He led the Leverhulme-funded ‘Project Ancient Tin: Did British tin sources and trade make Bronze Age Europe?’ \nBefore joining Durham\, he was the Curator for the European Bronze Age collections in the British Museum\, where he researched and co-wrote the first 40 programmes of ‘A History of the World in 100 Objects’. His research focuses on understanding the transmission of new ideas\, objects and technologies across Bronze Age Europe\, North Africa and Asia. \n\nThe talk is pay as you feel with tickets priced at £5\, £10 or £15. \nNumbers are restricted and places are available on a first-come-first-served basis. \nCornwall Heritage Trust is recording the event and may publish this in a variety of media and online. \n\nThis event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust. \n\nAdditional tickets released\nWhilst this event is currently sold out\, we’re thrilled to announce that we are now able to release a limited number of additional tickets. \nWe know how popular this talk has proven to be and will therefore be releasing these additional tickets at 7pm on Tuesday 24th March\, to give as many of you as possible a fair chance of securing a place.
