As for everyone, Covid has restricted
our activities, despite several having
been planned in anticipation of
execution. However, we were able to
achieve some excavation at Bradgate
Park, Leicestershire, as part of our
National Lottery-funded project
conducted in partnership with the
Bradgate Park Trust. The process
and result of the excavations were
disseminated to staff and volunteers
via several socially-distanced
meetings, and to visitors to the Park
and the interested public via our
website and Zoom. Both geology
and archaeology were featured and
further activities are planned in the
hope of achievement in 2022.
