Britain has one of the richest of all pagan heritages in Europe, defined as the textual and material evidence for its pre-Christian religions. The island is possessed of monuments, burial sites and a range of other remains not only from several distinct ages of prehistory, but also from three different major historic cultures.This lecture will look at what we know of prehistoric worship, focusing on Stonehenge and the bog body known as Lindow Man, to examine the difficulties of interpreting evidence for ritual behaviour for which no textual testimony survives.A lecture by Professor Ronald HuttonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/prehistoric-godsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Our last episode of season one takes us to Cheshire where, in the 1980s, two workmen stumbled upon a corpse, 2000 years old, marked with many baffling wounds. Theories and rumour swirled as to the cause of these injuries. 35 years later, Lindow Man still prompts debate amongst archaeologists: was he murdered, executed... sacrificed? This episode focuses on human sacrifice and the role of druids in Late Iron Age Britain.

This episode explores some of the better and lesser known celebrations and songs of the midsummer solstice in Europe. In the process it addresses some of the perennial questions of this holiday, like: What is a maypole? Why are all of those Russians bathing together? And how can I find buried treasure when all I’m wearing is this garland of mugwort? And what’s all this about human sacrifice?

Episode 16 is the second half of my interview with writer, novelist, podcaster, and really nice human being Arlene Radasky. She is the author of the historical fiction (with a little fantasy added in for good measure) novel "The Fox". "The Fox" was inspired by the archaeological find know as "Lindow Man" (Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindow_Man), so the book appeals to the science & history geek in me as well as its being a well done story.
