Summer Newsletter 2023
Horses figure large in our summer newsletter, with an article on carriage driving on the Ridgeway, and a review of the book The Bridleway, how horses shaped the British landscape. Another type of horse, the Uffington - chalk - White Horse, was under scrutiny by archaeologists in July, who were measuring by how much it had ‘shrunk’ as a consequence of encroaching turf. We have a look at the grants that have been won by the Ridgeway Partnership and what the money has been spent on. This includes a recently engaged project manager for an Historic England-funded project on many of the scheduled monuments between Wallingford and Ashbury, with emphasis on engagement with local communities. And lots more: recording graffiti on Uffington’s early 17th century museum; our volunteers in action;
