A rare opportunity to explore the city’s hidden heritage and watch a lost chapter of Lincoln’s story be discovered.
Taking place over two weekends (11 to 13 July and 18 to 20 July), the dig will investigate what remains beneath the surface of one of Lincoln’s most intriguing historical sites, a leper hospital believed to have been built around the same time as Lincoln Cathedral.
Although hands-on volunteer roles are now full, members of the public are warmly encouraged to come along to South Common during the dig weekends to watch the excavation unfold.
