Ep. 14 Heritage

Episode 14 – Heritage and Literature  In this episode, staff from The Reader take us on an audio tour of The Reader’s Liverpool home, Calderstones Mansion House in Calderstones Park. We learn a little about the history of the Mansion and the ancient monument that gives the house and park its name, and listen to literature that brings those spaces and their former inhabitants to life.   This episode is the first of several about The Reader’s two-year heritage project, Making Meaning at Calderstones, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, during which we are uncovering and telling the stories of Calderstones as a significant place of meaning-making.   Read more about Calderstones Mansion House  An interactive map of Calderstones Park  Making Meaning at Calderstones: The Reader’s Heritage project  Time Traveller’s Shared Reading group  The Silence Living in Houses by Esther Morgan  Collected Poems: Anne Ridler  ‘A Muse in Livery’ by Robert Dodsley  Daniel Deronda by George Eliot  Photo of a Calder Stone  The Collected Poems of George Mackay Brown
