Collections on the Road is bringing museum objects from the Herefordshire Museums & Galleries collection out to the community for a series of spotlight talks in the historic surroundings of Hellens Manor, one of Herefordshire’s most atmospheric heritage sites.

Join Alfred Williams, Collections Information Officer and Mastermind finalist, to hear about his specialist subject, Alfred the Great. He will explore how the Two Emperor coin found with the Herefordshire Hoard reveal the political propaganda that shaped how we view the past.

These small but significant items hint at an alliance unrecorded by history, and offer a fresh perspective on resistance to the Vikings, and the dangerous world of Saxon royal politics.
