We are delighted to invite Alison Dickens of Granta Heritage who will give a talk entitled ‘Beneath the Choir Stalls of King’s College, Cambridge’. Alison will talk about the amazing finds discovered during a programme of treatment of the timber of the choir stalls in 2001 when over fifty sacks of debris and dust were removed. After careful hand sieving 544 items were recovered. Alison, an archaeologist with over 30 years’ experience, examines the significance of these objects and the light they shine on people who have used the chapel.

‘The Nature of Cambridge’
Abbey Fields have organised a talk on Tuesday 28th February from 7.30-9pm at Cambridge Music Centre (old Infant School).
It may surprise you to learn that the extraordinary diversity of wildlife in the city of Cambridge is such that it is a hotspot for nature within the county. We know this because of a ground-breaking 3-year study carried out under the auspices of the Cambridge Natural History Society.
Our speaker, Duncan Mackay, was heavily involved in the development of the study and publication last year of the book ‘The Nature of Cambridge’, serving as President of the Cambridge Natural History Society 2019-2021. He will share with us the story of how this ambitious project came about and some of the remarkable findings.
