Icknield Way 18 January 2004

On 15th January local archaeologist held members spellbound with a talk covering digs along the Icknield Way. Now that archaeology is no longer council run, teams from all over the country are likely to be working in Hertfordshire whilst our home grown archaeologists are working miles away. Fortunately, Paul was able to show us many local digs including those at Hartsfield School and a recent dig filmed for the Buried Treasure television series.

He also talked about field walking and says he is prepared to spend a day showing people how to field walk, so if you are interested or have a field that you would like to have walked, phone 01763 288393 or Email the Rushden webmaster.

The new programme is now out and next month we look forward to hearing Mrs Joy Rourke talking about Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on Thursday 19th February at 8pm at Wallington Village Hall.
