Peel Hill Thorne: Prescribing the Motte
Our heritage is not to be avoided because it precious, rather it needs to be woven into to the fabric of places and people’s lives. This presentation will explore the background to a development of an extra care facility next to the scheduled Peel Hill Motte in Thorne and how we required it to be included it in the development with a the specific intention for the motte to contribute to the health and wellbeing of the new residents by giving them a unique environment to live, providing them direct access to the monument and using the archaeology as catalyst for social engagement and communication: Doctor can you prescribe the Motte?
