Talk: Hyde900 Community Dig April 2017

Hyde Parish Hall (Darch Room), 2pm

– The highs and lows of the 2017 Community Dig over 4 days in the gardens of two houses in Hyde.
– How 150 volunteers aged from 5 upwards experienced the excitement of a dig which at the last hour (literally) led to finds ‘of international importance’.
– How the finds fitted into the architectural history of the abbey, and how they added to our understanding of the original appearance of Hyde Abbey.
