Saturday 2nd November 2.00 pm
St Wystan’s Church, Repton
Annual lecture by Professor Mark Horton
50 years of early medieval archaeology at Repton 1974-2023
Between the first season of work undertaken in 1974 on the south side of St Wystan’s Church, to the completion of the work in the vicarage garden on 2023, many new discoveries have been made at Repton to help us understand the early medieval England, and the relationship between the Saxon Mercians and Viking invaders and settlers. Professor Mark Horton was present as a student in 1973, and latterly resumed the investigations, with Dr Cat Jarman from 2016 in the Vicarage Garden. In a personal talk Mark will prove a perspective on these many discoveries, and how our thinking about early medieval England has evolved over this half century, and the place that Repton has played in this.
The lecture will be followed by refreshments and a tour of sites at Repton School not normally open to the public.
Tickets £12 Students £5 Children under 12 free. Include light refreshments.
