Newbury Roman Cemetery by David Peacock – 8pm 13th April 2026
Heath End Village Hall

In the middle of the 19th century, a large Roman cemetery was discovered in an area now near Sainsbury’s in Newbury.  Containing both cremations and inhumations, the cemetery was quickly destroyed with most items discarded and the whole discovery poorly documented. Local historian Dr David Peacock tells the story of the discovery and of the Roman pottery and other items which have survived.
