A bit of Sunday night reading for you all. This time it's up close with the Alrewas torcs. Way more questions than answers with these torcs, but they have rapidly become favourites precisely because of that!

Some weekend reading for you! The latest Staffs Torc Odyssey blog 😊

Part 9 - Theories.

This is the fun bit: what are the possibilities of how and why these torcs ended up where they did.

Part 6, the Needwood Forest torc. A really pretty one with some really beautifully achieved elements.

The next instalment of the Staffs Torc Odyssey- this time about a torc that's so locally loved that it gave its name to a college and not one, but two, roads...

...and some genuinely brilliant media headline puns!!

Glascote - can I move to Torc Avenue, please?? 🤣
