SUMMARY:Peakirk Unwrapped: The Archaeology of a Fen-edge Settlement
DESCRIPTION:Peakirk is known for its association with St Pega\, who reputedly founded a hermitage there and gave the settlement its place-name [‘Pega’s church’]. Whilst Peakirk’s history is sporadically-documented from the eleventh-century onwards\, archaeological evidence indicates that the area first was colonised by Neolithic folk and that there was almost-continuous activity in the heart of the present village from the Romano-British period onwards. \nThis talk unveils Peakirk’s story through a combination of archaeology\, architecture\, topography\, maps\, photographs and written sources. It also features the work of PAST [Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team]\, an independent\, self-funding group\, whose recent projects have included re-plotting the route of the Roman watercourse\, the Car Dyke\, dispelling the ‘tradition’ of a Romano-British villa\, rediscovering ‘lost’ buildings and revealing more about Peakirk’s diverse and secret heritage. \nSpeaker: Dr Avril Lumley Prior \nFREE for FRAG Members \nDr Avril Lumley Prior developed an interest in Anglo-Saxon history during her childhood in Sunderland. After accepting a teaching post in Peterborough\, in 1970\, she transferred her attention from Northumbrian to Mercian studies. Upon her early retirement in 1995\, Avril attained an MA and a PhD on historically-based subjects\, both at Leicester University. She is currently conducting research in and around Peakirk and regularly presents and publishes her findings. With her husband\, Greg\, she is a founder member of PAST [Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team].
