Help Save Leicestershire’s Bronze Age Torc The Leicestershire Torc is a stunning 3,200-year-old gold object dating to the Middle Bronze Age period and is the only torc ever discovered in the county. It was a piece of very high-status jewellery...

Another one.

This is a really important find - unique in fact. It has slight similarities to a torc from Moulsford (in Reading Museum) but apart from that it's a totally new type. 🧵

PLEASE SHARE, thank you

Today’s decision brings one of the UK’s longest-running architectural heritage battles to an end 👏
