Charity managing England’s historic monuments and landscapes
GlasGLOW returns to Glasgow with the new Zombie Zoo experience at the Botanic Gardens. Visitors will meet rare zoo residents from a safe distance in a 60-minute outdoor event featuring decontamination tunnels, observation labs, live feeding demos and a first‑of‑its‑kind zombie-themed experience. Twilight and relaxed sessions are available, with behind-the-scenes access and dedicated accessibility options.
A new, peer-unreviewed analysis reconstructs Conquest Man’s life and origins, suggesting a complex, cross-Channel heritage. The skeleton from Barton-upon-Humber indicates continental ancestry with Scandinavian links, dating from pre-conquest to post-conquest periods, and hints at long-standing connections across the North Sea. The study frames a more nuanced picture of 11th-century England.
