About the Lewes Archaeological Group
Lewes Archaeological Group was founded in 1968 to investigate prehistoric and historic remains in the town of Lewes and the surrounding district. Although the Group does not currently run any excavations, it has each year a full programme of talks [Lecture Programme].
It also has occasional tours and walks. Members - often in cooperation with other societies and organisations - are involved in excavations and other projects such as field walking, surveying and watching briefs.
Details of opportunities are featured on the events page [What's on] and Facebook page.
The Group's lecture programme and occasional site visits and walks bring together those interested in archaeology and history from across the area. - Lewes is rich in archaeology. [Archaeology of Lewes]
Everyone is welcome to attend LAG's talks, but membership [Membership] at £6 annually gives a reduced entrance charge.
Members also receive invitations by e-mail to special activities, such as walks or tours.

Fri 20 November
The History and Archaeology of St Thomas à Becket Church with Simon Coleman and Peter Varlow
The roots of St Thomas à Becket Church, Cliffe, Lewes, date back 1,000 years. With likely Saxon origins, for centuries it was part of a 'peculiar' of the Archbishop of Canterbury, with new building phases in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries, and today it retains notable features. Peter will offer “the full story” of the fabric and furnishings of the church, including a new study of the (probably) 15th-century oak bellframe.
7.30pm in the Lecture Room, Lewes Town Hall
(Fisher St entrance, lift access available).
Entrance for members is £2.
Non-members are very welcome at £4.
