For Winchester Archaeology and Local History

Aims and objectives:

WARG, the society for Winchester archaeology and local history, promotes the study of archaeology and local history in the City of Winchester and the surrounding area, through monthly events including lectures; walks; excursions and excavations.

Next events:

May 13th:

“A Muddle of Parsons - Winchester in 1810”

with Dick Selwood

International Women's Day 8th March

We don’t hear much about influential woman in archaeology.

The Trowel Blazers Website aims to change that with a number of great articles.
