A visit to Crofton Roman villa has been arranged and Dr Brian Philp has kindly agreed to show us round. The site was fully excavated by the Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, which now manages the scheme in conjunction with Bromley Council.
Entrance fee £2 (£1 for Seniors). Please contact john.felton@ntlworld.com if you wish to attend.
Following our visit last year we will be making a return at the end of this season's excavation, when the site director will give us a tour around the site. There will be an option to have tea at the cafe after the visit.
Although there is no cost for the trip, a donation towards the project would be welcome. One will be expected to make one's own way to the site, and booking is essential. Please contact john.felton@ntlworld.com if you would like to attend.
David Rudling has kindly offered to take us on a walking tour around Roman Chichester. This will include the city wall, Novium Museum and bath house, the mosaic in the cathedral and the ampitheatre. A lunchtime venue will be arranged.
The cost of the tour is £5.
