This had been organized by their schoolmaster, Mr. C. W. R. Ellis, and Dr. K. R. Fennell, F.S.A., whose investigations, including excavation and aerial reconnaissance, had begun in 1955. See Fennell, K. R., ‘King Street in Kesteven and some notes on Old Sleaford’, Lincs. Historian, ii, no. 6 (1959), 22. They developed into a series of excavations and watching briefs by the then Ministry of Works between 1960 and 1964. These were supervised by the writer and W. T. Jones, F.S.A.Google Scholar
