History at Lincoln Bishop University

Monday marked the start of our month-long 2026 Archaeology Field School. The team of Dr Martin Huggon, Dr Ian Hardwick, and Archeology & History BA students have opened two trenches on the Lincoln Bishop University campus aiming to explore the Roman, medieval, and Victorian heritage of the area

The field school team also includes Giles Emery of Norvic Archaeology, Chloe Birdsall of Allen Archaeology, and volunteers from the Lincolnshire Archaeology Group (LAG).

The star find so far is a slate writing tablet, which possibly dates to the late 1800s when the site was Lincoln Diocesan Training College!
