By 1971 when Maurice Beresford and John Hurst edited a series of studies (Deserted Medieval Villages) Somerset was credited with 27 sites – four of which, derived from documents, had not been located. A few of the other sites had been located from field evidence but the majority were still iden- tified from historical sources (see Aston 1989).

Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw
Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw Mick Aston’s passion for involving people in archaeology is reflected in the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund. His determination to make archaeology publicly accessible was realised through his teaching, work on Time Team, and advocating community projects. The Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is therefore intended to encourage voluntary effort in making original contributions to the study and care of the historic environment. Please note that the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is currently open to applicants carrying out work in England and Wales only. Historic Scotland run a similar scheme for projects in Scotland and details can be found at: http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/heritage/grants/grants-voluntary-sector- funding.htm. How does the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund work? Voluntary groups and societies, but also individuals, are challenged to put forward proposals for innovative projects that will say something new about the history and archaeology of local surroundings, and thus inform their future care. Proposals will be judged by a panel on their intrinsic quality, and evidence of capacity to see them through successfully. What is the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund panel looking for? First and foremost, the panel is looking for original research. Awards can be to support new work, or to support the completion of research already in progress, for example by paying for a specific piece of analysis or equipment. Projects which work with young people or encourage their participation are especially encouraged. What can funding be used for? In principle, almost anything that is directly related to the actual undertaking of a project. -

Wing During the Anglo-Saxon Period
Wing during the Anglo-Saxon period. By Sarah Roe BA (Hons) History Introduction I have the most wonderful privilege of having a young Saxon girl living with me at present, not a ghost as such, but a recreation of a skull found in our local graveyard during a development dig 15 years ago. She has inspired me to take another look at Wing to see exactly how she may have lived, who she may have been and what life was like. Wing was not the ordinary small village that was made out when ‘Meet the Ancestors’ visited in 1999, it was in fact a frontier Anglo-Saxon holding, on the very edge of the Kingdom of Mercia, with a Minster serving several parishes around the area, its influence dwindling in the mid- late Medieval period until Tudor times. We have no exact knowledge of what Wing would have been like as very little written evidence has been found, however we can imagine from the fragmentary evidence we do have the rough size and scope of Wing. This paper will look at the land history of the area. Early Wing The only physical evidence we have of Anglo-Saxons in Wing today is the Church, supposed to be one of the oldest in the country, potentially dating from as early as the 7th century, and probably used as a burial ground from that time (Holmes and Chapman, p.66). This date puts Wing at the forefront of the rise of the Christian Church. Pope Gregory had determined that the English would be converted and took the relevant steps to ensure success. -

INTRODUCTION An OBU Honors Special Studies Grant, matched by a donation from a private source, enabled me to spend five weeks during the summer of 1981 studying British archaeology, particularly that of the Iron Age, at Christ College, Cam bridge. After one week of extensive lectures at the college and one week of touring major archaeological sites of the area, five other American students and I spent two and one half weeks at the Claydon Pike excavation near Fairford, Gloucestershire. During our stay at the dig the excavation director, Dr. David Miles, and the assistant director~ - Simon Palmer, both of Oxford University and the Oxfordshire Archaeological Unit, delivered several lectures on the Iron A~e, Claydon Pike, and other excavations in the area that dated from the same period. -
