"Boundary Stones - discovering hidden history in the landscape" ~ Hilary Jones

Illustrated with many varied examples of boundary markers, Hilary will explore why they were installed and what you can discover from them about your local area. From parish boundaries to lighthouses and castles marking the boundary was, and remains, part of our hidden history.

Hilary Jones is vice-chair of The Milestone Society a charity that seeks to conserve our wayside heritage of milestones plus boundary markers and traditional fingerposts.  She has a professional background in transport planning and Highways but is now retired and lives in Harmby.
