Museum talk: North Devon Pottery and the Newfoundland Fishery in the 1600s

2-3.30pm | FREE – booking recommended

This talk is part of a programme of events linked to the Museum’s current exhibition, Digging Deeper, co-curated with North Devon Archaeological Society.

Join Linda Blanchard, Trustee of the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon and former director of the North Devon Rescue Archaeology, for a fascinating dive into Newfoundland’s historic trade with North Devon, and explore how this links with the Museum’s new Potted History post-excavation project.
