This month we are staying very close to home, and looking at the county we were raised in...
Essex!
We are starting with Colchester Castle, and given that it’s foundations are built from a Roman Temple, it’s safe to say we have a lot of ground to cover! Make sure to let us know what you think of this week’s episode by dropping us a message on twitter or instagram, and leaving a review!
We’d like to also say a big thank you to Ben Paites, Collections and Learning Curator at Colchester Museums, for his advice and contributions!
See you next week!
