The Abbey and the Antiquaries: Discovering the Abbey of St Edmund
Part of the Abbey 1000 Series – all monies raised go towards collections conservation care and artefact acquisitions.
From depictions of the ruins of the abbey to the excavation of the grave of Abbot Samson, this lecture examines the ways in which antiquaries and archaeologists have approached the study of the abbey since the Dissolution, and reveals what recent archaeological fieldwork has told us about the development of the monastic site.
Dr Richard Hoggett is a freelance heritage consultant, writer and lecturer, with an academic background in Anglo-Saxon and medieval monasticism. In 2018, he completed a detailed Heritage Assessment of the former abbey site, which has informed the ongoing work of the Abbey of St Edmund Heritage Partnership.
