  • Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw
    Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw Mick Aston’s passion for involving people in archaeology is reflected in the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund. His determination to make archaeology publicly accessible was realised through his teaching, work on Time Team, and advocating community projects. The Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is therefore intended to encourage voluntary effort in making original contributions to the study and care of the historic environment. Please note that the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is currently open to applicants carrying out work in England and Wales only. Historic Scotland run a similar scheme for projects in Scotland and details can be found at: http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/heritage/grants/grants-voluntary-sector- funding.htm. How does the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund work? Voluntary groups and societies, but also individuals, are challenged to put forward proposals for innovative projects that will say something new about the history and archaeology of local surroundings, and thus inform their future care. Proposals will be judged by a panel on their intrinsic quality, and evidence of capacity to see them through successfully. What is the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund panel looking for? First and foremost, the panel is looking for original research. Awards can be to support new work, or to support the completion of research already in progress, for example by paying for a specific piece of analysis or equipment. Projects which work with young people or encourage their participation are especially encouraged. What can funding be used for? In principle, almost anything that is directly related to the actual undertaking of a project.

But if we set aside these stories, do we really know what happened when, and why it's so important? Which came first, the Bronze Age or the Stone Age?

We are delighted to be launching our new strategy to take us to 2020 (see opposite), with the ambition of being the leading heritage practice focused on delivering high-quality archaeological projects, providing good value for our clients, communicating exciting and up-to-date information to the public, and being a stimulating, safe and rewarding place to work. Our vision is to be at the forefront of advancing knowledge about the past and working in partnership with others for public benefit. A key element of the strategy is communication, both externally and internally. Since March 2007, we have produced 30 in-house magazines, one every quarter in printed and digital formats, and each packed with project news, in addition to providing information for staff on employment matters. Over time, they have become more glossy, but the challenge has been deciding what to exclude, not how to fill the space. They are We also have special features which showcase five particular a testament to the huge variety of work that has been under aspects of our work over the year: our HLF community projects; way, from strategic studies and research, through an immense National Heritage Protection Projects undertaken for English diversity of fieldwork, to news on our publications.

    The Two Rivers Mission Community Half time Team Vicar Contents Introduction from the Archdeacon 2 Our vision 3 Role description 3 Person specification 3 What we offer 4 The Team Vicar’s house 4 The Mission Community 5 Area profile 7 Appendix 1: Parish statistics 9 Appendix 2: The Rector’s vision as presented at interview 10 www.tworiversmissioncommunity.org Team Rector: Rev Gary Owen [email protected] 01769560792 Introduction from the Archdeacon If you want to explore a new, imaginative approach to rural ministry, read on! Gary Owen was appointed as the new Team Rector of the Two Rivers Mission Community just a few months ago with a vision for a service every week in each church, building up lay leadership, and delegating responsibility to focal ministers for particular parishes. It is a different Pauline model of ministry which Gary sets out below. The Diocese is fully supportive of it, and if it intrigues and excites you, then do ring Gary for a conversation about the post. You would be joining a strong ministry team, far stronger than in most rural Mission Communities in North Devon: a stipendiary Team Rector, a licensed SSM (who is focal minister for two of the parishes), 4 Lay Readers and a Parish Nurse who plays a central role in the pastoral care offered to the local community. It is a talented team and a commitment to collaborative working is therefore essential. There is also good Diocesan support: most of the parishes in the Mission Community have benefited from the Growing the Rural Church project, which aims to engage the local community in the care of their church buildings.
