Photo by Katie Moorman mylewes Profession: I’m one of the education officers at Lewes Castle. My main job at the moment is running a project aiming to raise awareness in the community about the Battle of Lewes, in the run-up to its 750th anniversary in 2014. We’re encouraging people to come up with ideas for projects, and helping to turn those projects into reality. There’s one group, for example, fashioning a tapestry depicting the battle. And a group of researchers working on identifying where the 1264 war graves are, and commemorating those sites. We hear you’re going to set the castle on fire… On the 14th April there’s an interactive event in which specialist projection experts are going to recreate the Battle of Lewes on the flintwork of Barbican Gate using state-of-the-art lighting techniques, as part of a 4d extravaganza, involving actors dressed in medieval gear, silent disco headphones, and Harveys beer. A once-in-a-lifetime experience: tickets will be on sale soon. On the same day there’s a conference involving some of the biggest names in medieval history research. So the 2014 celebrations are likely to be a big deal? An enormous deal. The Battle of Lewes wasn’t just any old battle, it was an extremely important event in English history, as it led to the first-ever representative Parliament, and helped shape our democracy. In 2014 the eyes of the whole country will be on Lewes: we have to decide what they will see. Battle re-enactments, that sort of thing? We’re hoping so. But we also want to reflect the effect the EDWINA LIVESEy battle had on the townspeople of Lewes. It must have been an extremely traumatic event for the townspeople: the monks recorded 2,700 deaths that day, as many as lived in the town. Are you local? I’m originally from Yorkshire, which is evident whenever I say ‘castle’, which is a lot, in the circumstances. I came here ten years ago for a visit, and never left. What’s your favourite Lewes landmark? Harveys Brewery. I love it when steam comes out the chimney, which drives home the point that it’s not just a beautiful building: there’s real industry going on in there. What’s your local? The Lewes Arms. I don’t eat out much in Lewes, but I do like drinking hot chocolate with cream, on the sofas in the Riverside, with the wonderful views. Anything you don’t like about Lewes? Being a lovely hill town, with a medieval street pattern, parking my van is difficult and it has been vandalised three times recently. Do you think Lewes could sustain a permanent cinema? At first I didn’t like the idea of the Town Council taking over the cinema at the All Saints. State-run cinema? It sounded like something in the Soviet era. But if the money can be churned back into the building to make improvements to the seating, and other facilities, maybe it is a good idea. I’d like to see a permanent cinema. The Maltings will soon become vacant, when the record office is moved to Falmer. That would be a perfect venue. I bet someone could find some funding for that… Interveiw by Alex Leith 21
