  • Descrição: The passing of Dr Helen Patterson on 21 October 2022 took away from many of us a dear friend and esteemed colleague, and deprived Italian medieval and early medieval archaeology of one of its leading lights. Helen achieved so much and helped so many, yet always remained down to earth, slightly shy, even self-effacing, but always true to herself and to others. A lifelong friend, Karen Bilton, recalls how Helen had a happy childhood with her beloved family at Cullercoats, near Newcastle, and did typical childhood things: raiding the sweet shop, climbing trees and scrumping apples. As a slightly older girl she'd head into town with friends in her white flares and platform heels (it was the 1970s after all), and pursued her passion for sport, becoming the Under 14 tennis champion for her county. But from early days, interest in the past beckoned and, as often happens, it was the right teacher at the right moment that planted the seed. The headteacher of Helen's junior school, Mrs Sheila Gordon, had a love of Roman history which she shared enthusiastically with her pupils, taking them to Hadrian's Wall, and its sites such as Vindolanda, Housesteads and Carlisle. This was before mass tourism or education officers, so Mrs Gordon carefully prepared beautiful worksheets herself, for use on site, then, very importantly, followed them up in detail later in class time. Helen loved these trips and developed a real fascination for the Romans.
