The Friends of St Ives Local Heritage Initiative Project |
|
We have been awarded nearly £25,000.00 from the National Lottery Local Heritage Intuitive to carry out an Archaeological/ Historical investigation of the St Ives Estate. Two Archaeologists from Bradford University are leading this, Dr Angela Redmond and John Mc Ilwaine. Early investigations are very exciting showing people have lived and worked on the Estate for as long as 6000 years. We will keep you informed of developments as we come across them…. Anyone with any historical information either factual or folklore please let us know however trivial it may seem... |

A strange anomaly by the picnic area, reputed to be an old stone sarcophagus--But is it? Does anyone know any stories about this? |
