Bedford Archaeological |
The Society, which has been in existence for over 100 years, currently runs a monthly lecture programme on subjects of local archaeological and historical interest. Recent topics included; timber framed buildings, the history of a local village, oral history, manors and local archaeological discoveries.
In the summer, there is a programme of visits, some of which are to sites not open to the public. The society is a registered charity and makes occasional grants to support local historical enterprises. We produce a newsletter twice a year, and provide an outlet for members who wish to publish articles of local interest. The society does not actively excavate, but supports and encourages local professional endeavours in this field. |
