‘Watford’s Bronze Age Hoard”

Laurie Elvin will talk about the discovery of a Late Bronze Age hoard of metalwork on the Holywell Industrial Estate, Watford, in 1960, part of which is on display at Watford Museum. As well as a description of the items in the hoard, the talk will also cover some background to bronze-making and the Bronze Age in prehistory, together with current opinions as to why such hoards came to be buried.

Laurie Elvin was a Chartered Surveyor, having studied Birkbeck College and since worked as a volunteer excavator various sites in SE England. He is Chairman of South West Hertfordshire Archaeological and Historical Society.
