First prize

Congratulations to our local volunteers Mary Terry, Hilary Down and Judy Dewhirst who won FIRST PRIZE for best stall at Ipplepen’s 125th village show yesterday! The stall raised awareness of our excavation and Mary’s grandson Robbie said it was his ‘best day ever!’. Huge thank you to Mary, Hilary, Judy and Robbie for all their hard work and support for our excavation.

Sunday 12th July

Sunday was wet and windy but spirits weren’t dampened and the students and volunteers ploughed on. We extended trench 9 to continue excavating the features in the geophysics survey and continued work in trenches 7 and 8, despite the weather!
