Our team took part in the @bristoluni.bsky.social Discovery Day. Our aim was to engage children and families with the ‘Map of Bristol in 1480’.

The map was edited by @profhelenfulton.bsky.social and published by the @historictownstrust.bsky.social

Please help. Our department runs a groundbreaking part-time degree programme in English Literature and Community Engagement, known as ELCE, designed for mature students who didn't or couldn't do a degree at 18. The University of Bristol has decided to close it.

Introducing Professor Helen Fulton

Helen has long been intrigued by borders, who defines them, and how they operate in contexts of power. She aims to broaden her understanding of the March of Wales as a significant cultural & political border through texts & manuscripts from each side of the border

In the coming weeks, we will be introducing our team. This week, we would like to begin with our Administrator.

Abi has a background in History of Art and loves anything related to design. In this project, she hopes to expand her artistic horizons to include the medieval period.

A great conversation with Helen Fulton and Emily Briffett about Mapping the March on BBC History Extra (historyextra.com/podcast). @profhelenfulton.bsky.social

📍MapMonday! Over the past few weeks I have been mapping the historic parish boundaries in Denbighshire, as recorded on the OS 1st edition 6" mapping. Almost there - only a few more to go! This is the first step in mapping medieval lordships of the Welsh Marches - going backwards in time from here 🗃️

Our project is now on BlueSky! Literature folks, historians (🗃️), geographers, cartographers, and those interested in Wales - follow us! @mappingthemarch.bsky.social
There may not be any posts yet but I promise interesting anecdotes and some cool maps are coming! And manuscript pics too, of course!
