Overview of Project
2.1 What we are going to do: The Friends of High Hunsley (FoHH), Ethos Heritage CIC (EH CIC), local stakeholders and local community groups propose to undertake further archaeological and cultural heritage work and training on the site of a Deserted Medieval Village (DMV) at High Hunsley, East Riding of Yorkshire. While we will ensure that all the archaeological works meet national standards, we also want to an employ an approach that helps address wellbeing, creates community cohesion and makes our community a better place to live. 2.2 Why: The diverse communities and economy of the local area along with the location of the proposed project near the heart of a community in the Yorkshire Wolds make the area ideal for a project aimed at bringing about positive social change through archaeology and heritage skills training. 2.3 Aim: We will run a three-week project using heritage aimed at local individuals, member of the civilian population who suffer from social exclusion, risk of crime, mental health issues or lack of employment/education opportunities and veterans. We will also have a project that is environmentally sustainable and leaves a lasting legacy in making the area a nicer place to live and work.
