Celebrate Archaeology and Wellbeing at this years Festival of Archaeology

Celebrate Archaeology and Wellbeing at the is years Festival of Archaeology.

Join in and help create our very own giant mandala inspired by the moasic shapes of the medieval floor tiles found during the excavations. The original floor at Norton Priory covered some 500 square metres which meant around 40,000 tiles were made and laid in a variety of patterns. Learn about how the tiles were made and help our artist to use the mosaic shapes to create an amazing colourful new circular mandala used by Hindu and Buddists for meditation and well being.

Medieval health and well being crafts and activities for all ages will uncover how the Canons at Norton carried out their duty of care for the sick."
