Tony Roberts will be presenting the latest information on the Archaeoscan fieldwork projects in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire. At Guiting Power on the Cotswolds the excavations of the mediaeval manor house have started to provide a better understanding of the site. At Slimbridge, in the Severn Valley work has continued at the site of large Roman building, whilst at Wickwar, South Gloucestershire, a new excavation has turned up large quantities of an unusual type of Roman pottery. All these updates will whet the appetite for the forthcoming season of excavation.
If you wish to attend in person, we are at the usual venue, St Andrew’s URC church hall, Montpellier St, Cheltenham GL50 1SP. Alternatively, the lecture will also be broadcast live via Zoom. Either way attendance remains free of charge for GlosArch members.
Although the Heritage Lottery Fund grant that supported last season’s lectures has run out, the GlosArch executive committee has decided to offer free attendance to all the remaining lectures of the 2022-23 series. We invite non-members to make a voluntary donation (up to £5 per talk) to support our activities and help us continue to provide high-quality lectures. To be added to the circulation for the Zoom link, and receive the GlosArch bank details, please email: [email protected]
Alternatively, for £20 per year you can join GlosArch. As a member you will automatically receive the Zoom link to each lecture and you will receive a link to the recordings of all lectures (if we are permitted by the lecturer to record them). You will also receive a copy of our annual journal, Glevensis, two newsletters per year and regular emails which often include details of other events that can be attended online. Should you live within reach of Gloucestershire, you will also be entitled to take part in our fieldwork activities.
