Encouraging local community groups of all kinds to enjoy the Stour Valley’s heritage assets.
Managing a Masterpiece has been celebrating coming to the end of our three year programme to understand, conserve and celebrate the Stour Valley. Last week on Bank Holiday Monday (May 6th 2013) we and many of our friends who have assisted in this landscape partnership got together at the Granary in Sudbury.
The restored Stour Lighter has been launched on 27th September at the River Stour Trust Visitor Education Centre in Great Cornard.
The project to restore a Stour Lighter and put it back on the river as a working and educational tool has reached fruition. The boat has been on display at the university campus in Ipswich for two days prior to being put back in the water at the River Stour Trust Visitor Education Centre in Cornard on the 27th of September.
Yes it's back by popular demand, we will be running some more traditional willow workshops over weekend in late July. We have not agreed locations for these events yet, so if you have a local group who would be interested in hosting the course, please do get in touch.
As part of the Heritage Lottery Funded Managing a Masterpiece project, this May Access Cambridge Archaeology will be giving members of the public the chance to take part in excavations on Clare Castle in Clare Country Park. People of all ages, with or without experience are encouraged to take part! The project will be run by Dr Carenza Lewis, well-known from Channel 4’s Time Team and BBC’s Story of England and The Great British Story.
Managing a Masterpiece is pleased to announce the winners of out poetry competition. Judging of the poems has been carried out by Dean Parkin, our very own ‘Poet of the Valley’. The competition, which has been running since last year, has had an enormous response with hundreds of entries. We are really pleased to see so many people getting involved and well done to Dean for managing to get through them all.

A talk by Carenza Lewis of Access Cambridge Archaeology about the results of the excavation at Nayland.
During October 2012 the Managing a Masterpiece project ran a public excavation at Nayland, carrying out test pitting in gardens across the community. Now the final public talk for the project is due to take place at the village hall in Nayland, where Carenza Lewis will outline what we have learned from the excavations.
We would very much like to see you all there, catch up with a few old faces and meet some new ones.
‘Take the landscape round here at Wormingford…..some would find it pretty tame. There are no hills worth speaking of, yet there is a subtlety about this landscape which I feel and see, but which remains very difficult to define. I never look for more than reality the farming the trees and the river.’ - John Nash.
