This year marks 1900 years of Hadrian's Wall, but that's not the only notable anniversary being celebrated across the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
2022 also marks a century since Jessie Mothersole's travelogue Hadrian's Wall was published - documenting her journey along the 73-mile monument which she undertook in 1920. It is believed Jessie was the first 'modern' woman to do so.
However, little is known about the Essex-born archaeologist, so I decided to do a little more digging (pun absolutely intended) to find out about her work, and her connection to the Wall.
