This talk will outline the key archaeological interest of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage site, starting with a Romani-Celtic temple first excavated over a century ago, touching on a Saxon barrow cemetery, sadly excavated in the 18th century with little record, but the subject of a mid-19th century public outcry. It will discuss the medieval hunting park, Tudor Palace and the formal Baroque landscape associated with the Queen’s House, a masterpiece of Stuart architecture. The talk will conclude by mentioning a new Lottery Fund project starting this spring, which will further enhance the archaeology of the site. Much of the World Heritage Site is free to visit and out in the safe fresh air for those that would like to plan a future trip.
