This weekend brings a unique opportunity to meet archaeologists responsible for excavating a Roman small town at Newington.
They will be at ‘Newington Uncovered’, a Heritage Open Days event organised by Newington History Group, that brings to life 2000 years of village history.
This year’s event includes the first public exhibition of the recently excavated Roman settlement in the heart of the village. Archaeologists who worked on the site will bring artefacts and talk about the significance of the excavation.
‘Newington Uncovered’ is also an opportunity to discover the secrets of Newington’s medieval church and find out about the village’s history through displays, activities and talking with volunteer researchers.
Entrance is FREE and there are activities for adults and children. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the WWI Peace celebrations of 1919, you can even use ‘People Power’ to send a message into the future!
‘Newington Uncovered’ is at St. Mary’s Church, Church Lane, Newington on Saturday, September 14th and Sunday, September 15th, 2:00pm - 5:00pm both days.
