Documentary Research Opportunity

To preserve our castle’s future, we have to uncover its past.

Having rescued this hidden gem of a marcher castle, Snodhill Castle Preservation Trust (SCPT) now seeks a qualified person to help uncover its history.

The work, detailed in the attached brief, will combine documentary research with our own archaeological findings and other sources and is a core part of Fortifying the Future —a three-year project financed by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. We’re aiming for this assignment to commence on 01/09/2025 and conclude on 30/11/2025, with a total budget of £7,200 (inclusive of expenses and VAT).

The history of Snodhill is a largely untrodden path, and we believe it presents a unique opportunity for scholarship.

Please submit proposals in PDF format to Project Lead Katherine Findlay at [email protected] by 11:59pm on Monday 11/08/2025.

This commission is made possible by National Lottery players, as part of our Fortifying the Future project.
