The directors of the Culver Archaeological Project, Rob Wallace and David Millum will be giving a presentation on Bridge Farm – revealing a Romano-British ‘defended’ settlement. The Culver Archaeological Project began in 2005  with the aim of  identifying further archaeological sites within the landscape around Barcombe Villa.  Recent seasons have seen the focus of activity at Bridge Farm, east of the River Ouse, where a large unrecorded Romano-British riverside settlement has been discovered.

The Roman Studies Annual General Meeting will be followed by a talk from David Rudling - Roman period settlement and land use in the Ouse Valley. David is well known to RSG. Until 2004 David worked for the UCL Field Archaeology Unit, being its Director from October 1991 to December 2003. In 2004 David joined the Centre for Continuing Education at the University of Sussex as a Lecturer in Archaeology.

After talking to parents who attend our Museum Kids Club we found a demand for sessions to support children who are being educated at home.

A weekday group has now been formed for those children to learn about history.

The first session will be on Tuesday 7th February from 2pm to 3.30pm. (£5 per child, one adult per child free). It will be on the First World War. Details on the attached pdf.
