The Society for Church Archaeology is pleased to announce its annual conference for 2025 on the theme of ‘Church Archaeology in 2025’. Church archaeology is an increasingly broad field of study, with traditional methods being complemented by new approaches and audiences. Advances in archaeological techniques present new opportunities for studying both upstanding and buried remains, whilst the transformation of ecclesiastical buildings in the 21st century is supported by a wealth of methodologies both in terms of investigating the past and presenting this to diverse audiences.

 

The conference will be held at the Barbican Creative Hub in Lincoln on the 11th and 12th of October. The Saturday will feature a full slate of papers,  and a walking tour of ecclesiastical sites will take place on Sunday. The keynote lecture on Saturday and walking tour will be led by Professor David Stocker. The full conference programme contains details of the lectures as well as advice on booking accommodation. ​

​
