After a first career in local government, Rod Fanthorpe enjoyed a second in education, teaching the Humanities and setting up and teaching an examination course in Archaeology. The archaeology of Roman Britain and the coming of the English have fascinated him for many years, along with Family History, Modern History, and the Greek New Testament. Jean first saw him on an Open University TV programme in 1979 and they married the following year. For many years, Rod has given talks on Lincolnshire subjects. ALSO BY THE AUTHOR Fanthorpe, C.R.
