We are thrilled to receive the latest review of our #VCHShort for #Cradley in Herefordshire by Della Hooke, published in Landscape History. As well as offering generous praise of the contents, Dr Hooke also provides an elegant summary of what our Shorts and Partnership Publications are for. 1/2 🗃️
The publication of individual parish studies in advance of the final 'VCH Red Books' is a momentous step which brings the history of these parishes easily within reach of a much wider audience and provides scope for detailed studies incorporating much local knowledge and research. The parish maps for Cradley are an extremely useful addition, clearly showing the boundaries of the parish and the main sites within it. A small section of Cradley was indeed transferred to Mathon Urban (renamed West Malvern) in the late nineteenth century.Cover of The Victoria History of Herefordshire, Cradley.

This incredible 3,400-year-old wig is made from locks of human hair! It belonged to an ancient Egyptian woman named Merit. Styled with ringlets and braids, it’s astonishingly well preserved and offers a remarkable glimpse into the hairstyles of her time! Museo Egizio, Turin. 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a well-preserved ancient Egyptian wig crafted from locks of dark brown human hair. The locks were sewn together and braided. The hair is parted in the middle and curled into ringlets that end with braids on either side of the face and on the back of the neck. Dimensions 30 cm x 45 cm. Dated c. 1425-1353 BC. This type of hairstyle was often decorated with flowers and diadems, which were very fashionable in the mid-18th dynasty, as can be seen in paintings and statues of the period.

The wig belonged to a high-ranking woman called Merit. She was the wife of Kha, the chief of works who supervised the royal tomb construction workers. The intact tomb of Kha and Merit (TT8) was discovered in 1906 by Italian archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli in the Theban Necropolis at the royal tomb workers’ village of Deir-el-Medina. The wig is on display at the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin.

There’s a goldmine of stories waiting to be told. The Iliad may be myth, but imagine how much richer our understanding of history could be if we told major events through the experiences of the other half of humanity, rather than treating the male perspective as the default.
