Southburn Archaeological Museum

Heritage Open Day: Located just outside Nafferton, near Driffield, the Southburn Archaeological Museum houses finds and artefacts from the Yorkshire Wolds with the aim of making archaeology fun, informative and accessible to adults and children alike. In the early 1960s, the late Brian Hebblewhite was a tractor driver on Southburn farm. During his work he kept finding old pottery and other artefacts in the fields and he took them to Hull Museum where many were identified as Romano-British and some from even earlier periods.

In the years that followed, with the support of the late owner of the farm, Mr. John Rymer, Brian, his wife Val and daughter Ann did extensive work on the farm including some excavation.
