Archaeology Group

Steve Palmer marking out trenches

The archaeology group was formed in April 2007 as a result of David Jones from Manor Farm, Bredenbury, mentioning that there were at least two lost buildings within 100 metres of his present house. One was thought to be an old tithe barn, the other an old farmhouse, which was purchased by Queen Anne’s bounty in 1743, to be used as the Rectory.

The group, headed by Steve Palmer, has been active ever since, and meets on Fridays, usually from 9.30 until about 3pm. It’s a fun group and is always looking for extra help. For more information please contact info@bromyardhistorysociety.org.uk.
