Chalke Valley History Festival excavations at Sutton Mandeville
This year, the Chalke Valley History Festival (CVHF) will be running its annual archaeological excavation on the site of the First World War camps at Sutton Mandeville. CVHF is launching this and other initiatives on Friday 19th February, explaining their plans and looking to sign on some volunteers to help.
