Annual Lecture 2025

Saturday, 15 November 2025, 10.30am

Shropshire Archives, Castle Gates, Shrewsbury SY1 2AQ

Annual lecture by Dr Roger White, ‘Julius Caesar woz ‘ere: visiting Wroxeter in the late nineteenth century‘

Taking the Shropshire Archaeological Society’s Visitor Books installed at their newly opened museum on the site of the ruins at Wroxeter in the 1870s as a starting point, this lecture looks at what the three volumes, running from the 1870s to around 1900 tell us of who visited Wroxeter, and explores what they would have seen at the time. The lecture draws also on the extensive collection of historic photographs of the site held by Shropshire Archives. 

Roger White has long been associated with Wroxeter, a site he was worked on for nearly 50 years. Now retired as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Birmingham, he is busier than ever, not least due to his role as Hon Chair and Hon Editor of the Shropshire Archaeological and Historical Society.

Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided.
