Please join us at the Village Hall, Child Okeford, in North Dorset, on 27th Nov at 7.30pm for an evening of inspirational images from author and photographer, David R Abram.

David has spent the past eleven years capturing views of Britain’s most extraordinary prehistoric sites from above in rare, sunrise light using drones and telescopic poles. Whether Neolithic tombs on Cranborne Chase, Bronze Age ceremonial sites in the New Forest or the enigmatic megaliths erected by our ancestors across the Wessex Chalklands, his images reveal forms invisible at ground level, and intriguing connections between the monuments and their varied landscapes.

Lively and rich with archaeological insight, David’s talk will cherry pick highlights from his book, the ‘Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain’ (published Thames & Hudson, with a Foreward by Professor Alice Roberts), which charts the arc of British prehistory from the end of the Ice Age to the arrival of the Romans. He’ll also be sharing sneak previews from his current ‘Barrowlands’ project, revealing forgotten ceremonial landscapes around the country that can still be walked (including around on Hambledon Hill!).
