Our former trustee Mick Aston died in 2013. Mick was well known for his passion for the past his and utter dedication to taking archaeology out to the people and communicating his heart felt excitement (he said once that he suffered from incurable enthusiasm!).

In order to remember Mick we have decided that henceforth our Annual Lecture in Cirencester will be known as the Cotswold Archaeology Mick Aston Lecture. The next lecture will be given by our Chairman Tim Darvill and Chief Executive Neil Holbrook and is entitled Grismond’s Tower and Cirencester’s Western Roman Cemeteries. The lecture will take place on Wednesday 18 March 2015 at the Bingham Hall, King Street, Cirencester at 7.30 pm.
