Well, here it is - a torc found in 1848 and which has rarely been seen off display. It was last written about in 1936 and until now there were only a few images of it available.

I love this torc and feel immensely privileged to have been able to examine it! 😊

I give you the Needwood Forest torc in all its glory.

The Middleton Hall torc - less boring than it first appears! 🤣

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 8 - the one where I disagree that there's a distinct group of torcs in the Staffordshire/West Midlands area.

And a huge thank you to everyone who's still reading. I really appreciate it.

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?? 🤣
