Potton to dig into its past with community archaeology event next Easter

Potton to dig into its past with community archaeology event next Easter john.day Mon 26/10/2026 11:33am 26 October 2026 Leisure and countryside Residents in Potton can look forward to discovering more about their town's history next Easter, with plans underway for a community archaeological dig in April 2027. Our archaeology service, Albion Archaeology , is supporting Potton History Society to organise 6 days of archaeological activity, provisionally planned for 1 to 3 April and 8 to 10 April 2027. The event will involve digging small archaeological test pits at locations around Potton, looking for objects and other clues that could reveal more about the town's past. Experienced members of Potton History Society will help lead the excavations, with guidance from professional archaeologists at Albion Archaeology. Organisers also hope to involve Bedford's Young Archaeologists' Club, with opportunities for local schools and Scout groups to take part. The history society will initially invite its own members to get involved, with further opportunities for local residents to volunteer potentially available nearer the time. Plans are also being explored for some of the excavation sites
