Webinar: A Saxon Minster at Chewton Mendip
May 29 @ 19:30 - 21:00
This webinar tells the story of excavations at Chewton Mendip from 2011 to 2020. Pip will talk about the Community Archaeology group’s involvement in the discovery of this important ecclesiastical site, dating from the late 7th Century and in continuous occupation until the early 15th. The extensive background research and archaeological findings tell a narrative of centuries of unknown history regarding the origins of the village.

GRADING OF WALKS
Events are graded from 1-4 in difficulty. The grading is found in the event description in the calendar on this page. Keep in mind that a change in weather conditions can make a walk more difficult than anticipated. All walks and activities demand a basic level of fitness, suitable footwear and waterproof clothing.
1 Easy – generally even ground with a few gentle slopes; no special fitness needed. Comfortable footwear required.
2 Moderate – for reasonably fit people, may include unsurfaced rural paths and tracks, moderate slopes, uneven surfaces, steps and stiles. Walking shoes/boots required.
3 Strenuous – for fit, experienced walkers, will include hills, uneven surfaces, tracks and may include muddy terrain. Walking boots and waterproof clothing are essential.
4 Confined spaces – including caves and attics. Locations may be dusty, slippery and dark.
Activity leaders carry out a risk assessment beforehand. Participants are required to provide emergency contact details before taking part in an activity – this information is destroyed by the group leader after the activity has taken place.
