Histon and Impington Archaeology Group (HIAG) have a talk on 16th May from 7.30pm at Histon Baptist Church (or via Zoom).

For over 800 years, from about 1000 AD, Histon and Impington were surrounded by nine enormous open fields which stretched to the boundaries of the neighbouring villages.  David Oates’s recent study of surviving documents from the 16th century onwards has allowed the layout of the fields to be recreated and the names of long-lost roads and locations to be identified. Some of the fields reused tracks and driveways from the Romano-British period, giving a glimpse of an even earlier village layout. After a career as a university lecturer in mathematics, David returned to the district and founded HIAG to enable local people to enjoy the landscape history and archaeology of their villages.  He is now President of HIAG.

In person talks at Histon Baptist Church will resume after Easter, with the option to join via Zoom. Talks will remain free for members, but the charge for non-members (whether attending in person or via Zoom) will be £3.
