The Church Meadow Project is an independent project which is supported by Surrey Archaeological Society. Three seasons of excavation took place between 2012 and 2014 in an area towards the north-east extent of the Roman settlement in Ewell. Many RSG members took part in the excavations and this is an opportunity to discuss what was found and hear how the excavation relates to others in the vicinity.
Hear the latest on 2015 fieldwork at Flexford and Cocks Farm Roman villa, Abinger.

The programme for the day incorporates a private tour of the Roman Bath and Museum.
This visit will complement and expand on Sadie Watson’s evening talk to RSG members on 3 February. There will be a talk from Sadie, followed by another from one of MOLA’s Roman Registered Finds Specialists with artefacts available to look at. We will also be taken around the processing area to see the washing and processing of finds from different sites. It is hoped that by March there will be human remains from the excavations at Liverpool Street.
