Crash Bang! What a picture...

The geophysics results (blue line is a water trough)

Well done to the Stalbridge geophysics team for getting such clear result on the manor house, especially as the weather was not too good on the exposed site. Internal features look clear too, so we hope to establish the internal layout as well. Hopefully we will have some nice finds. A bonus would be to find an earlier house on the site, or record any rebuilding, for the record.   

No stalling at Stalbridge

The geophysics at Stalbridge turned up some very good results, which will be shown here very soon, despite the bad weather last weekend. Well done to all the volunteers for this sterling work. Putting the manor house back on the map will soon be commencing and who knows what else may be found. 

Milton Abbas

Chris went to give a talk to the Milton Abbas history soc. last night telling members about the projects we have done and projects coming up. The society are very keen to work with DDCAG to unearth their village's past. One exciting idea is already being researched, so we will let you know.

BBC in the southwest are doing a series of programmes on village history and Milton Abbas is one of them. They were there last night to film the meeting and they are going to film throughout the summer as the society does its work, which will include DDCAG if we can get a project up and running! The programmes will go out in the autumn with the Flying Archaeologist guy presenting.

The producer also stated that they would be interested in our work too, in relation to filming our projects at Stalbridge and Symondsbury, with permissions from landowners.
