What's on in Jerusalem

Cambridgeshire, England

Jerusalem in Cambridgeshire sits right at the heart of the fens where the mist rolls off the marshes and the air smells of damp earth. There are plenty of places to grab a coffee or catch a gig without needing to drive further south for entertainment. It's a quiet spot that somehow manages to keep its pulse quick enough for anyone looking to pass an evening well. Local clubs host their own shows while community groups run workshops in the village halls nearby. You can find a comedy night here and a cinema screening there if you fancy something other than staring at the sky. Near Here keeps track of what's on so you don't have to waste time hunting for ideas on a rainy Tuesday.

Willow Swallow Decorations

Willow Swallow Decorations Saturday 9th May 12pm-4pm Join local Master Basketmaker, Nadine Anderson, to weave Swallow and Swift decorations in locally grown willows using basic frame basketmaking techniques. The swallows are 18cm x 25cm and the swifts 25cm x 25cm. There should be time in the workshop to complete 1 of each. Delicate fine willows will be used making it accessible to anyone who may have strength issues with their hands. All materials, tools and instruction provided. It is 29 years since Nadine Anderson wove her first willow basket, a rather strawberry shaped affair, but still it gripped her becoming her obsessive hobby and gradually full-time job. She has a City and Guilds qualification in Creative Basketry, and has served as course coordinator for The Basketmakers Association committee, is an active member of Cambridge Open Studios and became a Yeoman Basketmaker to The Worshipful Company of Basketmakers in 2017. She has woven props for films and created two full sized Green men costumes in Rush for The Lord Mayors Show. She grows her own willow and harvests the wild freshwater Rush in waterways around Ely, this small-scale domestic practice is especially important to the integrity of her work. All tools and materials will be provided. Workshop includes tea and cake. £65 Tickets

Talks & LecturesHistory & Heritage

Farming on the Medieval Fen

Farming on the Medieval Fen A talk by Professor Susan Oosthuizen Tuesday 12th May 7pm This talk offers a new perspective on Cambridgeshire’s medieval peat fenlands, well-known to have been dominated since time immemorial by extensive commons including pastures and meadows, marshes and meres. It shows how essential the rich ecology of different kinds of grasses and herbs were to commoners’ livelihoods and prosperity – and why ‘in no part of England were common rights more important’. It illustrates how, across the centuries, free peasant farmers and stockmen were able to make good livings only because they knew every inch of their local landscapes. And it outlines how their success depended not only on managing their beasts, the varying qualities of different grassland pastures and other fen resources, but also on their mastery of often complex engineering aimed at successfully controlling seasonally variable levels of water across their commons. Susan Oosthuizen is Professor (Emerita) of Medieval Archaeology in the University of Cambridge. She is particularly interested in commons and the development of landscapes and society between about 400 and 1300 AD, often focusing on Cambridgeshire examples. A list of her publications, both books and papers, often with downloadable copies, can be found at: https://profsusanoosthuizen.wordpress.com.
