SUMMARY:Changes in Agriculture since the Great War
DESCRIPTION:This talk will cover agriculture over the period from after the end of World War 1 up to the present day\, with some references to local agriculture; and will therefore cover the period that most people are able to relate to.  It will include references to the foundation of the industry\, and a review of the future of the industry\, with challenges from global warming and changing dietary preferences. \nMike Robinson is an Agronomist who has worked locally for most of his life. He was born into farming and after five years of qualification he moved into production systems for arable crops and grassland\, with a particular emphasis on dairy cattle and sheep\, and incorporating estate management.  Latterly the increased demand for energy required a concentration on high yielding systems and the use of agricultural land for bio-fuels and anaerobic digestion; and here his special interest in plant breeding and genetics has proved most useful.

SUMMARY:Understanding Boxford's Roman mosaic
DESCRIPTION:The late Roman figurative mosaic discovered at Mud Hole\, Boxford in Berkshire between 2017 and 2019 has proved to be the most important found in Britain for over fifty years. Covered with scenes from classical mythology and with a unique design\, it is indeed unlike anything previously found in Britain. This lecture offers the excavator’s interpretation into its design\, the wealth of figurative work and the stories from Greco-Roman mythology that it depicts and how it reflects the art of its own and previous centuries and the culture of those who commissioned it.\nAnthony Beeson is an expert on Roman and Greek art and architecture\, a Classical iconographer.  He is the author of the books Roman Gardens and The Boxford Mosaic\, as well as many articles on antiquities and art in academic journals. His latest volume\, Mosaics in Roman Britain is due for publication in March 2022. He is the Hon. Archivist of the Association for Roman Archaeology\, and a member and former Archivist of the Association for the Study and Preservation of Roman Mosaics\, and has appeared on Time Team. In 2017-9 he interpreted\, excavated and produced the official report on the internationally-famous mosaic of Pegasus and Bellerophon found at Boxford in Berkshire.
