From Saturday 2oth July to Sunday 21st July, people will have the opportunity to learn how archaeologists see beneath soil without digging, and join West Yorkshire Archaeological Service and the West Yorkshire Archaeological Advisory Service as they explore the hidden history of Oakwell Hall with Geophysics.

Geophysics measures the magnetic, electromagnetic, and moisture contrasts in the ground to create an image of what structures may be hidden in the soil. The team will be conducting surveys on the Front Lawn of the Hall, meet with them, see the equipment in action, and discover the results!

Oakwell Hall:

Oakwell Hall is a Grade I Listed Elizabethan manor house, furnished as a family home of the 1690s, and was visited by Charlotte Bronte in the 1830s and was immortalised as ‘Fieldhead‘ in her 1849 novel ‘Shirley‘.

Outdoors, there is 110 acres of Green Flag Award winning country park with period gardens, nature trails, mountain bike track, playground and picnic areas to explore, as well as gift shop and cafes.
