The Bruton Project - Twelve Years of Research by Roger Gallannaugh...

We are delighted to announce that a new booklet documenting the historical, political and religious significance of land at King’s Bruton has just been published by architect, ex-governor and Old-Brutonian, Roger Gallannaugh. Filled with detailed knowledge of the archaeological digs on Abbey Field and the significance of Bruton Abbey, it is an interesting read. The booklet can be purchased online (see link below). All proceeds will go to King’s Bruton.

On Monday 20^th May, Dolphin editors Winnie (L6^th Form, Wellesley House) and Sebastian (L6^th Form, New House) had the pleasure of recording an interview with Roger Gallannaugh, architect, ex-governor and Old-Brutonian about his new book 'The Bruton Abbey Project - Twelve Years of Research'.

The video interview outlines the Bruton Abbey excavation project, which Roger headed up and ‘dives deep’ into Roger’s publication, as he talks us through each element of the project. We hear about implications and challenges, the logistics and findings of the dig, the history of Bruton as well as future matters regarding the research. The interview provides a great outline of the entire project as well as the context surrounding it, looking at the geology, history, politics and religious situation surrounding the various usage of the site as well as the research itself.

If you are interested by this fascinating topic, please do watch the video of the interview with Roger.

The book can be purchased online. Click here to buy a copy.

An article by King's Bruton pupil, Will Sharp, was included in the 2012 Dolphin magazine.
