Family Archaeology Afternoon

Join Buckinghamshire Archaeological Society and the Friends of Great Linford Manor Park on a family-friendly afternoon to discover the archaeology that has been happening in the park.

Since 2021 Buckinghamshire Archaeological Society and the Friends of Great Linford Manor Park have been excavating the ha-ha at the back of the Manor house. A ha-ha is a wall sunken into a ditch that separated the Manor’s formal gardens from the grazing land. Meet the archaeologists, look at the trenches they have been excavating and handle some of the artefacts they have uncovered.

Also, delve even further back in time and discover the fossils that can be found in Buckinghamshire with local geologist Dr. Jill Eyers. Handle real specimens and learn about some of the geological stars in our area.
