The South East and East Anglia are the two regions that dominate English hoards throughout the period covered and within the South East, Kent and Hampshire dominate the find record, so we will be considering one of the most productive English counties. Among the hoards covered are notable ones from Seasalter, Ickham (shown on the cover of the first volume), Dover, Meopham, Bredgar, Charing, Maidstone and Deal, running from the reigns of Henry II to Edward VI.Dr Barrie Cook was curator of medieval and early modern coins at the British Museum until Spring 2025. Part of his role was the cataloguing of new coin hoards from England from 1180 onwards and he is currently publishing the medieval hoards among these in detail. The first volume, English medieval coin hoards: age of the sterling penny, 1180-1351, containing 186 hoards, appeared in January 2025, and the second, English medieval coin hoards: from the return to gold to the Great Debasement, 1351-1560, with 190 hoards, is due in early 2026.Event informationDate and time: Tuesday 24 February 2026, doors open 5.45pm, talk begins 6.30pm and ends at 8.00pmVenue: Westgate Hall, Westgate Hall Road, Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2BT.
