This letter put forward incontrovertibleevidencefor the immenseantiquity of mankind, greatly at variancewith the accepted viewsof the time. The visitwasmade by a party of archaeologists whohad specialinterestsin the Palaeolithicperiod or the archaeologyof EastAnglia.The final callwasat Frere's burial place,St Bartholomew'sChurch, Finningham.The lackof any specific memorialtoJohn Frere, either here or elsewhere,wasdeplored. The President,who waswith the party,agreed with the company that the placingof a suitabletablet in the church wouldbe a fitting tribute to him. It washoped that the Diocesewould sanction this if money could be raised to produce one. If so, it would be placed in the chancel with other memorialsof the Frere family.
