Respecting the Past is an Important Part of Preserving the Future

At The Forum we are diverting the subterranean course of the River Twyer running through the site. The new route is being excavated by archaeologists. The ground has a rich medieval history and was last year identified as the location of the lost Whitefriars monastery dissolved by Henry VIII in the 1500’s. A rich seam of medieval finds, from structures to burials have been identified documented and where appropriate archived. Respecting the past is an important part of preserving the future.
