Deserted Medieval Village Afflington Dig a talk by Chris Tripp (Archeologist)
Thursday 16th April 2026
All Welcome. £3 Members, £4 Guests
The talk begins at 7.30pm and the doors open at 7.00pm
This talk will be a chance for the leader of the dig, Chris Tripp, to update us on findings so far, and explore the history of the deserted village (actually a hamlet). The dig is a joint project between the ‘Dorset Diggers’ and the Society, and several members have taken an active role: do get in touch if you’d like to try your hand with a trowel next Spring! The second season has just finished, with some interesting new finds which help us to understand more about the settlement, who lived there and when. It’s very exciting to be part of a project which is helping to ‘make history’, and we look forward to what next year’s explorations may unearth.
