Field Theatre Heritage projects

 

Since 2013 The Field team have created, managed and  delivered four
Heritage Lottery funded community history projects.

  • We have taken our work into schools, museums and libraries. 

  • We have coordinated community activities with local history groups, social groups and churches. 

  • We have collected and recorded oral histories, stories and memories with dozens of older residents. 

  • We have enabled residents to trace their family trees.

  • We have created community exhibitions and displays.

  • Our community heritage delivery has engaged 100s of fenland residents.

We have also produced three community films highlighting key aspects of our region's history:

Riot in the Blood (2016). A documentary detailing the tumultuous events of the Littleport Riots.

The Horseman's Word (2015). Drama documentary featuring the myth, magic and drama of the Golden Age of the heavy horse. As experienced through the eyes of a young horseman.

 

Common Ground (2010). A moving documentary about the harsh lives of land workers in the early 20th century.   

We have successfully delivered memorable 'Living History' projects to local primary schools.
