The Sedgeford Dig
The Sedgeford Dig
NWNHS has had a long association with the archaeological dig at Sedgeford. As well as regular visits to the dig and to the old air field at Sedgeford, we have financed DNA research on two unusual burials which provided some surprising findings; sponsored a one off eventing talk; and even had one our members joining in an experiment involving smelting of local materials trying to replicate what may have some three millennials ago. Here is a link to their site and we would encourage you to look at the list of talks at Sedgeford church which are always very stimulating. See Notes on Cooperation.
