Open Day


The Huttons Ambo History Group will be holding an Open Day on Saturday the 18th of March between 11am and 4pm in the Village Hall.

Our immediate aim is to under taken geophysical surveys of a number of areas over the Easter Holiday and depending on the results we envisage doing a number of trial excavations in the summer.
 
All these activities will be open to anybody to watch or take part in. 
 
The open day will explain what, where and how we intend to uncover the buried history of our village.
 
Tea and cakes will be available and any profits will go to the History Club.
