Save the Lugg : Love the Lugg
This is the celebratory event I put together with the help of many of the multi talented Lugg Embroiderers, which was kindly hosted by Echo at their beautiful Community Garden at Eaton Barn, that runs down to the Lugg. This coincided with the Mayor’s Save the Lugg Day and enabled it to be enjoyed by the public…

She describes how the only trace of this old tradition in…
4th April – David Lovelace, Landscape historian: ‘Development of Lugg Valley landscape between Dinmore Manor and Hereford’
David very kindly agreed early on to give a talk detailing his speciality of the application of computer software to visualisation or as he put it ‘stitching’ digital maps together inspired by old maps. He shared his slides with me and I add a few below. He showed us how LiDAR scanning can be used…
