Many thanks to Paddy Lambert on his recent zoom talk on ‘how to build a Roman Villa’. FenArch is planning some more talks in the next few months. Meanwhile, here are a couple that are being given by friends and colleagues.
A Virtual Field Trip to RAF Thorpe Abbotts
Tuesday 30th March: 19:00
Dr Derwin Gregory, Programme Leader for Archaeology and Heritage at Bishop Grosseteste University, will be leading an exciting online tour of RAF Thorpe Abbotts.
In this session, we will virtually visit RAF Thorpe Abbotts in Norfolk, home to the 100th Bomb Group from 1943. This unit eventually gained the nickname ‘The Bloody Hundredth’ due to heavy losses they suffered in combat. During the fieldtrip, we will explore the physical remains of the airfield that survive to this day, as well as looking at the preliminary results from excavations undertaken at the airfield by BGU archaeologists.
Admission is FREE
The link to the event will be emailed to delegates in good time for the event.

A talk by Liz Davies, Curator, St Neots Museum
Victorian life is revealed through a remarkable printer’s scrapbook covering over a century of everyday life in St Neots. From bargains to banking, from paupers to posters, from golfing to grocers, the richness of Victorian life in a small market town is uncovered.
