The talk looks at the architectural history of the house and also includes the mound, old church and graveyard. Our speaker will first examine the pre house landscape going back the time when the area was inhabited in the Neolithic and later converted into hillfort in the Iron Age period. The talk will look briefly at the princely burial in the old churchyard and finally explore the development of the house from the seventeenth century to the present day. <br>The speaker is Elias Kupfermann. Elias is a professional historian and archaeologist. He runs his own heritage consultancy specialising in historic building and landscape research, archival and genealogical research. He has been researching and carrying out archaeological excavations in the grounds of Taplow Court for the last 20 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Information and booking can be found on the Friends page of the Church website <a href="https://st-nicolas-taplow.org/taplow-talks/">https://st-nicolas-taplow.org/taplow-talks/</a> </span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Proceeds from this event will be going towards the fund to support exploration / renovation of the vault in the old Churchyard<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Roger Worthington, Secretary HTS<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>07787556309<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:19.45pt;vertical-align:baseline'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
