A great article here about Grange Court, Leominster, where we’re working with Leominster Development Trust and Herefordshire County Council to interpret the site. http://www.museumsandheritage.com/advisor/news/item/2818?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Advisor+newsletter+2&utm_content=Advisor+newsletter+2+CID_457afe55b11fc74c15af261706de2cb4&utm_source=Email%20Campaigns&utm_term=Read%20more%20on%20Advisor
For us, a successful project is defined by visitors having a great experience whilst picking up interpretive messages.

Whilst this is nothing unusual for Stephany, who really shows such affection for the remains she studies, I was a little more perturbed by being so close [...]
