ARCHAEOLOGIST Tom Gledhill is going back in time over the weekend.
Tom, from Rookhope in Weardale, and his partner Ros Nichol will spend the Jubilee Bank Holiday at Killhope, the North of England Lead Mining Museum, burning charcoal the Medieval way.
It is the final part of a course that Tom ran in Ireshopeburn over the winter on the archaeology of the lead industry.
Killhope also has a new hide in the woods where visitors can watch red squirrels and a new permanent exhibition of spectacular North Pennines crystals unearthed by miners as they dug for lead.
