That’s good news. This proposal is not progress it is short-sighted vandalism. The Councils need public support.

During routine excavation at Burghley House in Lincolnshire—a magnificent 16th-century estate built for Sir William Cecil, chief advisor to Queen Elizabeth I—a construction worker stumbled upon an extraordinary surprise: a Roman statue thought to be nearly 1,800 years old. Known for its Elizabethan architecture and grandeur, the estate had always been seen as a jewel of the Renaissance period. Yet hidden beneath its landscaped lawns lay evidence of an even older chapter in Britain’s story. The statue was discovered in an area previously used as a simple parking space, but its preservation left archaeologists astonished. Carved from fine stone, it displayed intricate craftsmanship—soft facial features, draped garments, and artistic details suggesting it may have depicted a deity or prominent figure in Roman Britain. Its near-pristine condition indicated it had remained buried and untouched for centuries, spared from both natural decay and human interference. Experts now suspect the statue may have once stood in a Roman villa or temple that predated Burghley House by more than a millennium. This remarkable find weaves an unexpected link between two grand eras—Rome’s imperial presence and England’s Elizabethan splendor. The discovery has prompted further archaeological investigation into the estate’s grounds, raising the possibility of more hidden treasures. For the construction team, the moment marked an unforgettable bridge between past and present, a reminder that history often lies just beneath the surface, waiting patiently for the right moment to reveal itself. © Reddit #archaeohistories

Thank you for posting this David. We are having a meeting for relatives at Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage on 16 May. You can find details online, share lunch with them. Wonderful to see the images of this amazing story from our book. @penswordbooks @NX611JustJane

Impressive & freighting, it intended to fire 600 V2s a day. Thankfully none were fired from here, partly due to the efforts of Flt Lt Edward DFC, his crew & other raids. It’s well worth a visit. The crew of DV403 are buried at near by Leulingham church & Longuenesse St Omer.

Visit to the crash site of Lancaster DV403 of 617 Sqn. On a daylight raid on 24.6.44 to target was the V2 rocket site ‘La Coupole’, it was hit by flak on the bomb run & crashed. 3 crew bailed out, 5 were killed. Then went to ‘La Coupole’ & walked the vast structure & tunnels. 1/2

A great typically British take on the state of our roads. Very funny but sadly true. Where is all of the tax money going ? Not on repairing potholes that’s for sure. Please share

Brilliant.

Well worth spending the time on a tour

Thank you for your outstanding brave service PC Meg Gray @cheshirepolice

Isn’t it nice to see someone looking happy!

Art is always subjective - I’m a photographer and author, same problem. I’ve learned that the reviewer who could write a better book rarely has. The creator has to trust their own judgement. Drawing is impressive.

Interesting to see this at work
