History Beneath Our Feet: Metal Detecting by Lorraine Stanley
Weston Museum
Tuesday 10 March 2026 – Saturday 4 July 2026
History Beneath Our Feet is our latest Community Gallery exhibition, sharing memories and finds by our volunteer Lorraine Stanley, in memory of her husband Andy Stanley. This exhibition features the ‘Stanley Collection’, metal detected archaeological finds discovered by museum volunteer Lorraine Stanley. On display are artefacts dating from the Roman period, including coins, Medieval artefacts such as shoe buckles and post-Medieval items including musket balls, horse spurs, keys and clay tobacco pipes. Lorraine has spent many years promoting responsible metal detecting through her work with police on Heritage Crime and through talks to groups and in schools.
