Baylis collection to hold an exhibition at Daventry Museum March 2025

From March next year part of the societies collection will be on display for the public to view at Daventry Museum. These items include any fine Roman artifacts, but also a display of Indus Valley artefacts - a very unusual and interesting collection to find in a provincial town museum! Both Lee and Julian will be presenting a talk at the museum - dates and times to follow.

f you subscribe or buy British Archaeology Magazine, you may have noticed that issue 198 (August 9th 2024) featured an interesting image of a Roman corndryer as a full-page display in the inside front cover. This was all ‘our’ Lee’s work, and it was terrific to see his brilliant work uncovering this fabulous excavation was honoured in this way. The Photo was tagged: ‘First Sight – Late Romano British corndryer found on a commercial excavation in Warwickshire near the Fosse Way. 3D model created by Lee Baylis using Metascan on an iPhone.’
