About this listen
Joining us at Audible Studios is Lara Maiklem, who runs the largest online mudlarking community, and has recently released a book all about it: Mudlarking.
Expert mudlarker, Lara Maiklem, is uniquely skilled in the art of seeking. Tirelessly trekking across miles of the Thames' muddy shores, where others only see the detritus of city life, Maiklem unearths evidence of England's captivating, if sometimes murky, history, with some objects dating back to AD 43, when London was just an outpost of the Roman Empire.
From medieval mail worn by warriors on English battlefields, to 19th-century glass marbles, Maiklem deduces the historical significance of these artifacts with quirky enthusiasm and sharp-sightedness.
In this interview Lara tells us how she finds out the stories behind her found objects, how she feels about mudlarking with others, and where her interest in history first began.
