Park Life – The Hidden Heritage in Leicester’s Green Spaces by Mathew Morris
Leicester is home to more than 190 parks, community gardens, local nature reserves and green open spaces, but beneath their lawns and trees lies a remarkable hidden past.
Join archaeologist Mathew Morris to explore the unseen heritage of the city’s green spaces.
From Bronze Age bog bodies and Anglo-Saxon burials to a lost medieval abbey, Georgian county parks and forgotten air‑raid shelters, these everyday places conceal some of the city’s most fascinating archaeology, protected for centuries from urban development.
