Peterborough Cathedral & Surrounding Area

During the 1970s the Field Unit carried out a number of excavations in and around the grounds of the Cathedral led by Donald Mackreth, who unfortunately died before he could complete his reports.

 

He left a fairly complete manuscript of his activities, and  NVAT and the current Cathedral archaeologist, Dr Jackie Hall are looking to complete the publication, subject to getting appropriate funding for such a large project.
