Archaeological illustrations

This week we have been out and about exploring the deer parks with Jennie Anderson who is an archaeological illustrator. Jennie is going to draw some reconstruction images which the project can use to help people imagine what the deer parks looked like back in the 1420's. These will focus on people doing things - like mending the pale, the park boundary; herding cattle through the park gates; and of course, hunting the fallow deer! Jennie will also be re creating views of the parks, so we can see the changes that have taken place over the last 5-600 years. Although the weather has been wild, wet and windy, its been a great opportunity for us to work with a professional illustrator.
