Exploring Antiquities & Archaeology in the North West

Ben Edwards, County Archaeologist for Lancashire, Honorary Fellow of the CWAAS, scholar and historian, produced work that transcended historical period and county boundaries.

This collection of essays by colleagues, based on a study day in Ben’s honour in 2012, contributes to our knowledge and understanding of the archaeology and history of Cumbria and Lancashire from the Romans to the early modern periods and commemorates Ben Edwards’ outstanding achievements.
