Oh Brother where art thou?

DDCAG members and locals interested in their village heritage went to Hentridge yesterday to look over the possible site of a Benedictine priory that was abandoned in the late 1400s. We are planning to do geophiz on two fields with two more a possibility. Hopefully we will find some foundations and then plan for a targeted dig. This could be the start of something big which could keep us busy for several years. Keep looking in.
