Student reviving county's old language

A student has started a project to reclaim some of her county's old language.

Univeristy of Gloucestershire graduate, Holly Williams-Richards said she became "enamoured" by some of the traditional words she found during her research.

Some of these words, such as "flittermouse" - which means bat - are being displayed in a public art trail to introduce them to new generations.

They can be found in places like the Oxstalls Campus at the university and across Gloucester city centre.
