FOUNDED in 1996, the
Sedgeford Historical and
Archaeological Research
Project is a long-term,
multi-period, multi-discipli-
nary research project set up
to investigate the entire
range of human settlement
and land-use in a typical
North West Norfolk parish,
from the earliest times to
the present day.
Currently one of the
largest archaeological proj-
ects in Britain, its on-going
work encompasses multiple
sites and a wide range of
historical and archaeologi-
cal techniques, from large-
scale open area excavation
and exploratory test pitting
to map regression and
standing building survey.
The Project is an exercise
in democratic archaeology,
believing that all those who
participate have an equal
say how the project is run,
and is strongly rooted in the
local community, whose
heritage it is engaged in
studying and whose partici-
pation it encourages.
The Project is run by a
team of directors, supervi-
sors, trustees and commit-
tee members, and during
the summer regularly has
up to 70 excavators on site
in July and August.
It's archaeological field-
work is concentrated in a
six week summer season,
but additional activities
such as field walking take
place at other times of the
year.
SHARP welcome all vol-
unteers regardless of back-
ground, and often no previ-
ous experience of archaeol-
ogy is necessary as on-site
training courses are run
every week during the
excavation, as well as a
wide array of other spe-
cialised training courses.
NESTLING between its two beach-
es and pretty rolling countryside,
Heacham has managed to remain
very rural in character even though
it is close by the busy resort of
Hunstanton.
There's a rambling shopping centre with a sur-
prisingly wide choice of shops and services, an
attractive High Street, a meandering Heacham
Brook with a well-populated duckpond, the
remains of a railway line that fell to the Beeching
Axe in the 1960s -- and more particularly, the
two natural beaches offering much for the casual
visitor.
The attractive riverside caravan parks provide
relaxing holidays for many, while around the
local pubs there is a chance to try an unusual
sport, the French petanque or boulle.
This is a variation on bowls, highly popular in
France, and since being introduced at a local
pub it quickly caught on with other pubs in the
area taking part in a highly competitive league.
There's a coastal path from Snettisham
Country Park, through Heacham's North and
South Beaches along the sea wall to
Hunstanton, ideal for a bracing stroll by The
Wash.
And once you have worked up an appetite,
Heacham has eating places of every kind.
Holiday cottages, bookable in advance, abound,
and you can hire a bike or tandem locally to get
around the neighbouring villages and coastal
paths.
For in this part of Norfolk you are never far
from beautiful areas just off the beaten track, like
nearby Ringstead Downs, and asking the locals
could put you on to them.
Heacham is a large village and there is much to discover when you explore on foot.
