History Knights

Stolen History seeks to reclaim British and Global History. Our nation's story is often written and re-written by the great academic centres or by entrenched  ideologies;  towns and communities that  have witness it for thousands of years seem to have their part of this history taken from them.  As children we might play knights and princesses, but as we get older it often feels we are being told it’s not our history or our story. But it is our history, history isn’t something to preserve for others but something that belongs to us all and needs to be reclaimed. History Knights project ‘Stolen History’ seeks to empower and embolden new voices to become directly involved in  researching, explaining and celebrating British and Global History. By diversifying the voices that research, interpret and share history we are able to depend  our understanding of the past and empower communities to preserve and protect the nations heritage. With the support of the National Lottery Fund, Stolen History hopes to establish a new model of empowering communities to diversify the heritage sector, enrich our understanding of our past and enhance how exploring history can contribute to contemporary life.
