For all those keen walkers out there you will be pleased to know that a leaflet to accompany the Northwick Manor Heritage Trail is now available to download from our [[heritage_trail|Heritage Trail]] page.  Many local people also contributed towards the production of our final booklet - Northwick and Bevere by Residents Past and Present -  which can be downloaded from our [[publications_and_reports|publications]] page.  These are free to download or there are a limited number of hard copies of the final booklet available by contacting Sheena on 01905 721133/ archaeology@worcester.gov.uk.  These are free to residents of Northwick and Bevere (one per household) or at a cost of £3.50 to non-residents.  All proceeds will go towards the maintenance of the trail.


===== May 2010 - Northwick Manor Heritage Trail now open! =====

{{:mickastonlowres.jpg?200    |Mick Aston launches the trail!}}The project co-ordinators are delighted to announce that the Northwick Manor Heritage Trail is now open!  The trail was launched on Saturday May 1st with a grand May Day festival event, at The Slip, Old Northwick Lane, with entertainment from Gaunt's Retinue and Combrogi Mercia (Medieval Re-enactors) and Richard Coombs, World Famous Punch & Judy puppeteer.  There were displays of research that has taken place over the last 2 years inside a marquee and refreshments for all.  At 2.30pm, Professor Mick Aston from Channel 4's Time Team, joined us to cut the ribbon and launch the trail.  The weather held for us and local people were able to claim their free project booklet, 'Northwick and Bevere - By residents past and present', featuring photographs of local scenes and memories of life in and around the area.  The launch of the trail draws to a close two years of events, talks, workshops and research inspired by the historic and natural landscape of Northwick and Bevere, but we hope that local people will continue to be inspired by their surroundings and perhaps now know a little more about its hidden history.  Thank you to everyone who has got involved with the project and helped make it so special!
