KHAS MATTERS

Tonight: Tonight John Burton will be talking about a Warwickshire ‘favourite’, under the title of ‘By George! Why we still love George Eliot’

CHANGE-ROUND OF SPEAKERS On November 11th we shall have Ben Wallace (WCC) speaking on Aerial Photography and Archaeology, while Graham Sutherland’s talk is moved to January 13th when he will speak on ‘The Darker Side of Warwick’

RESISTIVITY SURVEY IN ABBEY FIELDS Unfortunately, the survey did not reveal a continuation of the wall which had appeared in an excavation in 2018. This could have been, in part, due to the dry conditions so we will repeat the exercise after the present rainy spell is past
