One of the most debated doors in the country, the south-west door of St Helen’s Church in Stillingfleet is one of the oldest in England, possibly dating back in part to the 10th/11th century. It was studied in the 1970s and confirmed to be at least as old as the original Norman

Two of the finds from the Roman town of Cataractonium, located near present-day Catterick. It was once a key military and civilian settlement. Today, much of Cataractonium lies hidden beneath the modern landscape. Despite this, excavations have revealed glimpses of its former life granaries,

Many people are unaware that there were black sailors in the Royal Navy during the age of sail. If you mention it they assume you must have searched desperately to find some representation.
But do you know who really wanted to ensure these sailors were represented?

NEW | Russia has continued to strengthen its military presence in Libya & Mali as it withdraws assets from Syria.
The Kremlin’s decision to send armored vehicles to Mali, particularly T-72 tanks, is significant given Russia’s vehicle losses in Ukraine. 1/8 🧵[Images:

NEW VIDEO!
We often think that the last Viking invasion was in 1066. But it wasn't! There were actually two further invasions after this. So what happened?
It's a tale of brutal struggle as multiple claimants wrestled for control of England.

A wonderful belt buckle dating to the late 4th or early 5th century, it was excavated at Catterick Roman Fort. It comprises of a pair of seahorses and an upright dolphin at either end. The curators report states that it was probably from the belt of an officer

It’s #HeritageTreasuresDay! To celebrate we have chosen two objects from our collections that we have recently acquired.
The first image is of a leather money belt from the 1930s that was likely made during The 1st Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment’s deployment to India.

It's easy to view history in a detached sort of way, just an abstract series of dates and events, but I've had a lot of comments on my Elizabeth Howe video from her descendants, and it really struck me that it's never just something that happened a long time ago. It's real.
