Lost Buildings and Ancients Lives of Lesnes Abbey Talk

Our resident Archaeologist Anthony Thomas will share his current research delving deep into Lesnes Abbey’s past, reaching back to Prehistoric, Roman and late Saxo-Norman time.  Go back in time with Anthony as he shares his findings about how the abbey was laid on top of buildings from earlier periods.  Surveys completed 2025 have indicated a number of small stone built platform-floors, which seem to represent a series of muti-period sequences of several industrial style timber-framed and stone building structures associated with external kilns-ovens and other domestic activities.
