Long Melford’s historic sites were subject to student’s scrutiny as part of Access Cambridge Archaeology’s High Education Field Academy (HEFA) programme, an initiative designed to involve and engage young people with science. Students from Ormiston Academy, Hedingham School, Thomas Gainsborough School, and Samuel Ward academy got to dig alongside Carenza Lewis of Channel 4’s Time Team fame. The results of the local findings will go on to contribute to medieval research at Cambridge University!
