Norwich Castle monographs published!
In March the definitive report on major excavations at Norwich Castle, which took place in advance of the construction of Norwich Castle Mall in the 1990s, was published in the East Anglian Archaeology series. This brings to a conclusion one of World Tree's longest-running layout and typesetting projects, which has occupied us on and off since the summer of 2007.
Volumes I and II of Norwich Castle: Excavations and Historical Survey, 1987-98 amount between them to over 1150 pages, and include hundreds of illustrations. We would like to congratulate the principal author, Elizabeth Shepherd Popescu, and her colleagues on completing this enormous body of work, surely the single most significant new archaeological publication relating to the City of Norwich for decades.

Art of Faith exhibition at Norwich Castle Museum
During 2007-8, Imogen undertook her year-long Festial project. Supported by Arts Council England, this saw her 'inhabiting' the medieval church of St Andrew at Wood Dalling, near our home in North Norfolk. With a programme of activities structured around the dates of some of the most important religious feasts of the medieval year, the project was intended as an personal exploration of the limits of how far we might be able to share in, empathise with and 'inhabit' the medieval world from the standpoint of our lives today. For further information about the project, please visit the home page at www.world-tree.co.uk/festial.
A single piece of work produced by Imogen during the course of the project has now been selected for inclusion in a major exhibition to be staged at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery. The Art of Faith will run from 2 October 2010 until 23 January 2011. Guardian (pictured) was one of a series of four images produced during her visits to the church in summer 2007.
