    The Chantry Chapel, Buckingham

    This 15th-century chapel was restored by Gilbert Scott in 1875 and is now open to the public as as a second-hand bookshop. As the oldest building in Buckingham, when we decided to make some internal alterations, we needed to carry out a detailed archaeological survey first.

    Uffington White Horse - how old?

    White Horse Hill is home to a number of intriguing ancient monuments including the 110 metre long Uffington White Horse. This chalk figure seems to gallop across the chalk downland. Whilst it is best viewed from the air, this majestic form is something to behold from close up. It is about 3000 years old, making it the oldest dated chalk figure in Great Britain.
