Fundraising boost takes campaign one step closer to securing Iron Age gold
A fundraising campaign to save ancient jewellery believed to be the earliest example of Iron Age gold ever discovered in Britain has been given a £65,000 boost.
The four intricate artefacts that make up the Leekfrith Iron Age torcs have been valued at £325,000 by a panel of independent experts known as the Treasure Valuation Committee, sparking a three-month countdown to raise the money so that they can be kept on public display at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery.
