Histon and Impington Archeology Group (HIAG) and Fen Edge Archaeology Group (FEAG) have a talk on 6th June from 7.30pm at Histon Baptist Church and on Zoom.

In place of the advertised talk there will be a talk entitled ‘The Lost Vicarage of Eltisley’ by William Franklin (Staploe Archaeology Group). The talk will discuss the excavations in 2021 of one of the half-dozen known moated sites at Eltisley.

This moat was thought to have been a water garden associated with a house built in 1612. Excavation revealed an L-shaped building, confirmed by background research as the vicarage which was built in 1517. Records show it was uninhabitable by the 1780s and the excavation revealed evidence of its fate.

Advert

Those who would like the Zoom link for Monday will need to register for this on our website via the form on the ‘Contact Us’ page. The talk is free for HIAG and FEAG members, but £3 for non-members (whether in person or on zoom)

We are hoping to reschedule the planned talk by Adam Sutton on The pottery industry of the Lower Ouse valley for a later date.
