New archaeological sites in Gloucestershire revealed by Public Access Archaeology

Through his company, Archeoscan, Tony Roberts provides opportunities for public involvement in archaeology, with the most popular activity being the chance to participate in excavations at exciting sites in the Cotswolds. Tony will give us an update about his recent excavations in the area.
Social media: We are on Facebook, twitter and Instagram. See links at the bottom of every page.
There is much to explore on this site. See Projects, Places to Visit and Publications. If we have your email address, we can send you items of interest from time to time, including occasional meetings of sister societies.
William Croome – his work for the care of churches. This full article was originally the Croome Lecture presented in 1993 and subsequently published in our Cirencester Miscellany No 3 in 1996. We’re pleased to be able to add it to our website in full, with some additional photographs. Here is the link
The demolition and rebuilding of flats off The Avenue, Cirencester, brought an article in our Newsletter 49 of 2009 on public art to the fore. The planning assessment shows much archaeology under the site, believed to be the original Roman town centre. The site has now been rebuilt.
Gloucestershire Archives are always keen to hear about any old documents, maps etc that are coming up for sale by auction in order to bring them to public access. Sometimes they are able to raise money to buy them for the archives before auctions push the price up. Claire Collins is Head of Collections and can be contacted by anyone with any information.
We are still receiving updates and enquiries about our information on those who died and even survived World War I. If you have more information than we have published about any of the people on the Cirencester monuments, do drop us a note.
Know Your Place West now has mapping for Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset. Maps from about 1840 to date can be compared and after moderation you can add historical information. Do watch the video to see how to use it! Have fun! Tithe maps have been added where they exist.
