Fascinating talk by Professor Mark Horton

Join us at St Mary’s Church, Kingswood, for a fascinating talk by Professor Mark Horton.

A distinguished archaeologist, academic, and familiar face from Channel 4’s Time Team, Professor Horton is renowned for bringing history to life through both his research and broadcasting. At St Mary’s, he will share insights from his recent archaeological work at Kingswood Abbey, revealing discoveries that shed new light on this important local site.

Recent research at Kingswood, near Wotton-under-Edge, has uncovered compelling new evidence about the possible location and significance of its historic Cistercian Abbey. This talk will explore these findings and place Kingswood Abbey within the wider story of the Cistercian Order in the West Country from the 12th to the 16th centuries.
