It's the last weekend to see excavations at St Marys Church Field Museum in Stoke Mandeville .
It's your chance to explore acholeogical finds, and talk to experts about the historic church before HS2 construction begins on it.
Inside a specially constructed tent the size of a football pitch, archaeologists working on behalf of HS2, are currently excavating the remains of the former parish church of St. Mary the Virgin. This is a once in a generation opportunity to excavate the ruins of a medieval church and churchyard.
Inside the museum you can ascend the viewing platform for a bird’s eye view of ongoing excavations, as well as displays, films and interactives to explore the history of St. Mary’s church and the amazing archaeological discoveries in the surrounding area. We’d love to welcome you onto site to explore this fascinating excavation, where you can learn about life and death in Stoke Mandeville over more than 800 years.
Tickets are free but must be booked, more information can be found here
