Description: | Collection of metal detected and fieldwalked material, from all over Norfolk, but mainly from the productive sites south west of Norwich and in the south west of the county in the Norfolk Fenland. The collection covers all archaeological periods, many types of objects from tools to jewellery and many materials other than metal, including quantities of pottery and flint. The most important part of the collection is the hoard of Romano-British drinking vessels, votive objects and zoomorphic jewellery found at Crownthorpe Romano-British temple and brooches from the nearby Roman small town of Wicklewood.
Derek Woollestone retired from teaching in 1991, and since then he has spent more time on his passion for metal detecting. He started field-walking in 1977 and metal-detecting three years later. Many of Mr. Woollestone's discoveries were made without the aid of the metal detector, while he was looking at the ground out in the field.
