It's the Entrance on History Hit.

I'm Tristan Hughes, your host and in today's podcast where you might remember, about a

month or so a few months ago, we did a special episode all about the world of Stonehenge exhibition

for the British Museum, talking about a brand new discovery, the discovery of this 5,000

year old, near-lithic, chalk drum.

But today we've got a similar sort of episode.

We're talking about another new discovery, this one from Yorkshire and dating to Roman times.

It's a group of four objects called the Rydale Horde.

And not too long ago I headed up to the Yorkshire Museum to learn a bit more about this new discovery.

We talk to the curator, one of the curators at the Yorkshire Museum, Dr. Lucy Crichton,

and she explains all about the detail, about the story of these objects.

We also talked to this avid metal detectorist, one of the people who discovered the Rydale

Horde.

Mark Didlich, he was a pleasure to chat to both and to learn more about this incredible story,

dating to almost 2,000 years ago and to Yorkshire's Roman history.

So that further ado to talk all about the Rydale Horde and its discovery, his Lucy and

his Mark.

In May 2020, a remarkable discovery was made in a field near Amphalforth in Rydale, North Yorkshire.

The discovery was a group of four objects that have since been labelled some of Yorkshire's

most significant Roman finds.

Fast forward two years from the discovery, and these stunning objects are now centre

stage of the Yorkshire Museum's newest exhibition.
