  • READING TIME: 1 minute

Cotswold Archaeology has been working with Historic England on the artefacts recovered from the Protected Wreck Site of the London,  a seventeenth century warship, in the Thames Estuary.  That work has been progressing well, and Historic England has recently posted an update on the conservation and new studies of some of the  artefacts with some wonderful new photographs. The results of the research programme are now coming together as a book and for those who want to know more about this fascinating site we will let you know when it is available. You can read more about the research on the Historic England’s website.
