Battlefield Custodians

3 March 2008

Trustees are currently considering a scheme to have 'battlefield custodians' to maintain a watching brief on their local battlefield(s), to be the main point of contact for those interested in a given battlefield and to be the local 'expert'. As a minimum a 'battlefield custodian' would need to be willing to receive email or telephone contact from people who are interested in the battlefield, and especially anyone who is concerned about developments that may affect it. The role can be developed into providing tours of the site, or writing features in the local newspaper. To become a 'battlefield custodian' you will need to be a member of the Battlefields Trust and to have excellent understanding of the battlefield(s) in question. The scheme is being developed at present, but if you are interested in becoming a 'battlefield custodian' at this stage, please contact Christopher Jolly at chris@jollylearning.co.uk
