FOLIO Sutton Coldfield is delighted to welcome Dr Mike Hodder for our first public online event, an illustrated talk about the archaeology of Sutton Park.

Dr Mike Hodder was born in Sutton Coldfield and he has been researching the archaeology of Sutton Park for over 40 years. He was formerly Birmingham City Council’s Planning Archaeologist, and he is an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Birmingham and President of the Friends of Sutton Park Association.

Sutton Park contains many well-preserved and nationally-important archaeological remains which show how people have used and managed this landscape for thousands of years, from prehistoric times to the 20th century. Research continues, and even more sites are being discovered.

Dr Hodder’s talk will be given via Zoom. To register for this FREE talk, which will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions, please email info@foliosuttoncoldfield.org.uk. Upon registering your interest for the talk you will be sent the Zoom link for the event.

To make it as easy as possible to attend and enjoy the event we recommend you install Zoom either on your computer or handheld device ahead of the event.

This event is free to attend but please consider making a donation to FOLIO, which is entirely volunteer-run, to enable us to run more events for you in the future.
