Howdenshire’s Fascinating Archaeology
Heritage Open Day: Archaeological Open Day - excavations and finds. Discover the rich histories of local people. Join members of the Howdenshire Archaeological Society at this drop-in event.
There will be displays showing the nature of, and findings from, current and previous archaeological investigations - including West Cowick Windmill, Hook moated manor site and our current excavation on the site of a lost medieval chapel.
On the day you will have the opportunity to handle finds, find out about archaeological techniques, and discuss excavation opportunities with our friendly members. There will be a short talk at 1230 on the work of the Society and how you can take part.
This event was supported by leading family history website, Findmypast, who provided access to their records as part of their sponsorship of ‘Everyday Histories’, the festival theme. Discover your ancestors' stories at findmypast.co.uk
