Upcoming Event

Thursday 21st October 2021: Marlow Lecture – What did the Romans ever do for Bourne End?

by Nigel Rothwell and Ed Peveler, Chilterns Conservation Board ‘Beacons of the Past’ project

Did the Romans build a road and a crossing here?

We will look at ‘known’ Roman Roads in the Chilterns and show how the ‘Beacons of the Past’ LiDAR data has helped reinterpretation. We will explore a new alignment of the Roman Road in Hodgemoor Wood (Seer Green) on the likely route from Verulamium to Silchester.
