In this lecture, Dr Roger White (pictured) will explore the artistic and cultural impact of Wroxeter Roman City, through the artists, poets and writers associated with the site over the centuries. These were responding to the evolving archaeological story as it was uncovered, whose interpretation inspired the image of Wroxeter as an abandoned Roman city.

Roger is an archaeologist researching the late Roman to early mediaeval transition in the UK. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, a Member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists and a past member of the Historic England Advisory Committee (2011-17). He has carried out extensive research into Wroxeter over the years and has worked as consultant for English Heritage writing conservation plans for Wroxeter.
