Projects

Our projects create new ways to explore our history and discover some of the most important heritage sites in England.

From Stonehenge in Wiltshire to Berwick Barracks in Northumberland, we are making art, developing new plays, films, soundscapes, and exhibitions all inspired by England’s rich heritage.

We are transforming how we tell England’s stories.

A Job in History Careers Series

Our Young Producers are trying to de-mystify the wide variety of roles in heritage by interviewing some of the best. Want to work in the industry get some hints and tips, or do you like heritage but don't think there is a career for you, these are the videos for you!

Troopers and Snoopers

Throughout early 2022 we explored stories of women during the civil war with a group of young people from the Army Welfare Service in Blandford. We explored the stories of those who joined the fight (troopers) and those who became spies (snoopers).

Maiden Castle Stargazing

On 14th February 2022, we climbed up Maiden Castle to stargaze from the top, with young people from the Army Welfare Service in Blandford.

Mapping the Past

Created by our Young Producers and placement student Amy, ‘Mapping the Past’ is a zine that investigates the history of disability connected to English Heritage sites in London and the South East. Amy talks us through how the zine came together.

Feel That Rhythm 2

In 2020, we worked with Young Music Makers on Feel That Rhythm I - a jazz dance and music project commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, which culminated in a streamed live performance.

A year later, from November through to December 2021, we worked with Young Music Makers again, to further develop and explore the history and context of local blue plaques, and the theme of jazz and its connections to dance.

Alice in Wonderland: The People’s Version

Across spring 2022, we supported My Life My Choice's Alice in Wonderland: The People's Version research project.

Alice in Wonderland: The People's Version involved looking at Lewis Carroll's depiction of disabled people and examining its effect on those with disabilities and mental health issues.
