Everyday Treasures of Leominster

Submit Your Response to Your Card

You’ve found the Everyday Treasures of Leominster card project as part of Priory Arts: Vikings at the Priory, a small moment of noticing, memory, story, and place. The cards invite you to look again at familiar streets, buildings, details, and corners of Leominster, and to ask what treasures they hold beyond what can be seen at first glance.

Everyday Treasures of Leominster is part of Rebecca Burns’ Leominster Micro-Bursay Project, exploring how images, stories, and card decks can help people feel more connected to the places where they live, visit, remember, and return to.

What counts as treasure?

A treasure might be:

  • a place you always notice

  • a place you usually overlook

  • a story someone told you

  • a memory of someone you love

  • a skill, recipe, habit, or phrase passed down

  • a building, path, tree, bench, shop, church, river, or street

  • a moment of kindness

  • something ordinary that matters more than people realise

Your response may help shape a future exhibition-inspired card deck. You can write as much or as little as you like, and there are no right answers.

The Leominster deck uses images of local places to invite reflection, conversation, and new ways of seeing. It’s a creative tool for noticing what is already here: stories, memories, overlooked details, attachments, histories, and hidden meanings.

The exhibition deck will explore treasure in a wider sense: not only gold, coins, and objects, but also care, skill, memory, friendship, belonging, faith, work, craft, loss, humour, and the places that hold our lives.

For Vikings at the Priory, Rebecca is updating the existing Leominster deck and creating a new exhibition-inspired deck with visitors.
