Battle of Hatfield Investigation Society

Dear All,

BOHIS have a major meeting with our preferred archaeological team (MERCIAN) at the Greendale Oak, Cuckney, this Thursday 8th September at 1pm.

These are exciting times and I hope you realise how much unpaid work has been performed, just to get us to this meeting stage.

In synthesis, we need to agree and cost the components of a now almost fully realised Project Plan and also decide which areas we would like to request permission to perform ...

Dear All,

We are now beginning the "ground work" in preparation for another HLF bid re. an exciting Phase 2.

As part of this, BOHIS have secured a meeting at St. Mary's Cuckney with both of the Diocese of Southwell archaeological advisors – on Monday 25th July @ 11:30am.

This is with a view to the potential granting of permissions (via another Faculty).

Dear All,

Firstly, our 7th meeting of May 13th had an attendance of over 40 who witnessed a presentation on the discoveries found in Phase 1 last November. These included 6 anomalies which may represent original burials in and around the church and reinterment sites, plus notification of a 7th anomaly on land belonging to the Welbeck Estates Company Limited.

The 6 anomalies included what may be a large pit in the central eastern section of St. Mary's, Cuckney - not far from where...

Dear All,

Apologies for the severe lack of notice but way back in June 2015 I gladly accepted the opportunity from the Southwell Community Archaeology Group to talk about the Battle of Hatfield and our project on April 14th 2016.

I  had half forgotten this but did realise on Monday (thanks to having put a reminder in Outlook way back then) and quickly communicated with the group. They confirmed that it was still on and they were also in the pro...

Dear All,

During our recent HLF funded activities, BOHIS have been grateful to have the support of members from other projects such as, “The Friends of Thynghowe”.

Those such as Steve Horne have also provided practical support, such as helping strim the church yard at St. Mary’s, Cuckney to enable that part of the Fieldwork to take place.

So it’s only right to support and publicise their causes.

Thynghowe is a Viking Assembly site in Sherwood Fo...

Dear All,

BOHIS would like to support one of our BOHIS supporters, Charles Cannon, who has organised an independent, excellent, worthy and very good value event, “ Ransom Wood’s Earth Day”.

This will take place between noon and 10pm at Ransom Wood Business Park near Mansfield.

Firstly, sincere apologies for there being no posts for nearly 3 months now.

Normally the idea is 1 post per month or more if necessary to maintain momentum. This deficit is purely down to the huge workload faced in formally completing the project as rightly required by the Heritage Lottery Fund [“HLF”] by 31st March 2016.

The Community book is now at the printers in Devon and is due back on about 25th March, for free dis...
