Nov 1st: we acknowledge the long-standing tradition of honoring the departed. 🍂 The Soulton Long Barrow offers a peaceful space for this reflection

It privileges no one perspective. Instead, it connects us to the rhythms of nature and the shared human endeavor to build lasting, beautiful memorials

Old Sir Rowland Hill, 'Renaissance Hero', repaired the Commonwealth by refounding the London Hospitals (and more). This spirit lived on: Robert Dudley founded the Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick to fill the similar gaps.

A fantastic morning for bird ringing! 🐦 We ringed 52 new birds at Soulton, including highlights like Stonechats, Chiffchaffs, and Meadow Pipits.

​Each tiny ring helps unlock the secrets of migration and survival.

Soulton Hall's 1668 door case (? by Christopher Wren) is linked to a 1560 Geneva Bible Ezekiel illustration

Built by Sir Rowland Hill (d.1561) for teaching and statecraft, this hall was the center of the Elizabethan settlement

The door case was part of Restoration repairs
