The cemetery discovered at Broughton Lodge, Willoughby-on-the-Wolds, in Nottinghamshire was a pioneering community archaeology excavation of the 1960s.
Since that time the remains, held in partnership between Nottingham City Museums and the University of Nottingham Museum, have never been displayed together until now. This exhibition reinterprets the evidence from the cemetery creating a picture of a Nottinghamshire community with pan-European connections in the sixth century AD.
This exhibition is curated by Professor Chris Loveluck (Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Nottingham) and Ann Inscker (Nottingham City Museums and Galleries).
