The Cathedral’s Canon Treasurer, the Revd Baron, said "It was important that we reburied the infant at the same site with the dignity of a burial service that was likely not possible originally. We are conscious that someone went to great lengths to try to bury this baby on consecrated ground"

ASE's Michael Shapland, who led the excavations as the Cathedral Archaeologist, said "This is an extremely rare glimpse into the monastery that existed on this site during the Late Saxon period. This tiny baby is perhaps the oldest and the very youngest known member of the Cathedral community"

All these workshops and auditory investigations have led to the soundscape of SONIC MIGRATION!

So join us Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th October, 12-4, and experience it for yourself - before the Green Huts are lost forever.

Akila Richards (Writing our Legacy) used movement and physical connections to the huts and Seaford Beach to invite reflections on what home means and how we listen to each other.

Spending time listening and connecting in both the original (Seaford) and current (Lewes) hut locations was central to the project's focus of deep listening.

Edwina Livesey from the Green Huts project shared stories of the soldiers stationed nearby and would have used the Green Huts as a chapel.

The Green Huts started as a WW1 chapel in Seaford before migrating to Lewes. They are reaching the end of their colourful lives.

Using microphones and imagination, local young artists have been deepening to their connection to history and the experiences of people who used the huts.

Two hands hold up a red ceramic bowl with a pattern around the edge of hares running. This type of pottery is known as Samian. A slightly sepia toned photo of an excavation from the 1980s. A wide, shallow trench has been dug in a field with large hay bales, and multiple people sit in lines in the trench working with trowels. In the foreground a wheelbarrow bears the letters FAU.
