Warham Camp is an Iron Age hillfort located in Norfolk, England, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of ancient peoples in Britain, dating back to around 500 BCE to 100 CE. It is a scheduled monument and stands as one of the largest and most impressive hillforts in the East of England, with significant archaeological and historical importance. It is arguably the best earthwork of this period in the region. It is a circular structure with an overall diameter of 212m.

Holkham Hall

Holkham Hall

PLEASE NOTE: This is just a sample to show the Holkham team an example of what we could do for them. For help using the Echoes App, please visit vtsw.uk/echoes Thomas Coke, the first Earl of Leicester, conceived this Palladian Hall as his vision of an Italian villa on the windswept north Norfolk coast. The family has lived in this house continuously since the 1750s, though at Holkham since 1612. They take great pride and joy in sharing the house and its treasures, the deer park and Holkham beach, with visitors. Holkham is still privately owned and is the centre of a thriving 25,000 acre agricultural estate which provides resources both to maintain the house, and to ensure that the social fabric of rural life remains intact. However, Holkham has not stood still and has worked hard to move with the times. In recent years, enterprises have expanded to include a holiday park, several shops, property development and an internationally acclaimed inn.

Castle Curators: Out of the Castle & Into the City!

Castle Curators: Out of the Castle & Into the City!

The Castle Curators are a group of young people who, as part of the Royal Palace Reborn project, worked with Kick the Dust (KTD) Project Worker Rachel Daniel and Keep Project Curator Andrew Ferrara from October 2020 to design one of the new display cases for Norwich Castle Keep. At the start of January 2023, Andrew Ferrara & KTD Project Worker Amelia Long reached out to the group to see if they would like to build upon the work they had already done and create audio recordings about their chosen objects. Kendra & Ellie have both made recordings which have been linked to specific city locations that connect to their objects. We hope that you enjoy listening to their object's stories - taken out of the castle & into the city!

Prophecies

Prophecies

Prophecies is an audio work about the future created by Artist Maddie Exton. Maddie has interviewed Jane Hedges (the Very Reverend of Norwich Cathedral), Penny Francis (a psychic medium), Vonnie Spooner (a spirit guide) and a group of 7 year olds from Earl Soham Primary School to ask them what the future looks like. Harnessing a range of voices, Prophecies will invite listeners into a moment of intimacy with each speaker and open a space for reconnecting with dreaming. The past year has plunged many into survival mode and Prophecies pushes us to be curious again. Religious spaces are a place people often look to for answers and hope, and as such, being set in the Cathedral grounds, the short trail can act like a modern pilgrimage. “In crises, we pray. Our engagement with religion continues to change, and I wondered how God can act as guidance in the modern world. In the dark days of post ww1 Britain, spiritualism became so popular it almost overtook the Anglican Church, and that same thirst for spiritual comfort has been mirrored during covid. I spoke to a spirit guide and a medium to see what messages and spiritual lessons we can take forward. Working with a group of children from Earl Soham Primary School, it was refreshing and surprising to see what the young think the world will look like in 25 years, allowing the content to be both playful and poignant, two things I always strive for.”
