Home of Springs, Trengwainton is a 2.5 year digital heritage project started in May 2015. The project will create outputs focussing on the history and knowledge we have explored through creativity, digital participation and interpretation.
The project outputs will be produced in years two and three and will include:
• an interactive documentary (web doc)
• a book
The project will involve the community in:
• workshops
• exhibitions and talks
• a programme for schools
This website is an evolving document which brings together our process of how we are uncovering some of Trengwainton's stories. We are in year two of the project so you will find that over time some of the posts will change as we have more things to add. Join our newsletter to keep informed of events (found on the Home page).
