Cotswold Archaeology’s Mick Aston Annual Lecture 2026

Hidden Kingdoms: exploring South-West Britain in the early medieval period – Professor Stephen Rippon, University of Exeter Britain ceasing to be part of the Roman Empire was one of the most formative episodes in our history, yet research on Late Antique Britain has traditionally privileged eastern ‘Anglo-Saxon England’ over the so-called western ‘Celtic fringe’. This project will redress this imbalance by exploring the landscape, communities, and material culture of the ‘hidden kingdoms’ of South-Western Britain (such as ‘Dumnonia’) that existed from the 5th-mid 7th centuries, whilst avoiding creating a new binary division between east and west through studying the interactions between these British regions and communities with an emerging Anglo-Saxon identity to the east. This event is also available to watch online for free.

Corinium Afternoons: The Iron Age Silver Coin Hoard

A spectacular silver coin hoard has just emerged from Cotswold soil – the first Iron Age coin hoard in the museum’s collection. It contains more than 160 coins dating to the late Iron Age, and displays a variety of stunning abstract designs attributed to the Dobunni tribe. There is rarely any wording on Iron Age coins, so what messages do they carry? Join Collections Engagement Officer James Harris to hear the story of how this important treasure was found and saved for the public and to see if we can decode some of the hidden meanings behind the images. Corinium Museum members can get free tickets by entering the special discount code when they check out. Help the Friends of the Corinium Museum raise money for the hoard’s conservation here – Iron Age Coin Hoard | Friends of Corinium Museum
