From October 13th 2008 Lewes Castle will be completely shut to the public. There will be limited, free admission to adjacent Barbican House Museum during this period. Major improvements in access and interpretation are taking place and we apologise for the inconvenience.
This exciting conference, organised jointly with the University of Nottingham and supported by the AHRC, will bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines, in particular Archaeology, History, Geography, English and Performing Arts, to consider landscape and identity from different temporal and cultural perspectives, and highlight new approaches to understanding past and present landscapes.
Special Price for our members - look on our web shopsite (or order from Fishbourne Roman Palace - 01243-785859). Exclusive price to Sussex Archaeological Society members of £12.00 including post and packing. This offer is open until 31.08.08 (Retail Price will be £14.99 plus post and packing). 
December 2007: Sussex Past owns some of the finest historic buildings in the town - Lewes Castle (and adjacent museum in Barbican House), Anne of Cleves House, and Bull House (onetime home of Tom Paine). We need your donations to save them!
