What Happens Next? 

North Thoresby

Fieldwork Project North Thoresby, Spring 2025

The Society has been invited by the North Thoresby History Group to lead an archaeology fieldwork project on an ancient meadow adjacent to the village church.  This project will be overseen by David Start and undertaken with members of the North Thoresby History Group.

A magnetronomy and ground penetrating radar survey is being carried out towards the end of March 2025, after which the Society will work with David Start and Ian Wright, Leader of the History Group, to develop a fieldwork project consisting of surveying and carrying out targeted excavations on the site.

It is anticipated that this project will take place between the 24.04.25 and the 19.05.25, with 4 three day sessions of onsite work:-

Thursday 24.04.25 to Saturday 26.04,25

Thursday 01.05.25 to Saturday 03.05.25

Thursday 08.05.25 to Saturday 10.05.25

Thursday 17.05.25 to Saturday 19.05.25

The final details will be completed and circulated when full details of the project is agreed.  It is also hoped to have a pre-dig meeting to outline the project and discuss details of the event.

This project is open to all Society members and will offer the opportunity for members to engage in the project, gaining experience in surveying, excavation, initial finds conservation, recording and cleaning.
