Cornwall Archaeological Society
Cornwall Archaeological Society seeks to:
- Identify new archaeological sites through survey and excavations
- Record sites, monuments and buildings in the field as part of one off or long-term projects;
- Protect sites, monuments and buildings through co-operation with landowners, Historic England and Cornwall Council
- Conserve archaeological monuments through active management work on site
- Monitor the condition of our monuments through field visits
- Help fund Archaeological research projects in the county by awarding grants
The Society has always encouraged Members to get involved with as wide a variety of activities as possible. Opportunities to learn more about archaeology in Cornwall and elsewhere are provided by an annual conference and a winter lecture series and a summer walks programme that takes in all corners of Cornwall.

The Society introduces you to the rich and varied history of Fowey harbour and what you can see today by:

St Tudy History Group
The group has gone from strength to strength more than doubling its numbers to 40 in less than three years. Its intention is to discover, preserve and disseminate the history of the Parish of St Tudy while also fostering an interest in Cornish and wider history.
St Tudy Historical Society usually meets in the Village Hall at 7:30pm on the last Monday of each month (except August and December). A variety of external speakers are arranged with occasional visits to places of interest while members are encouraged to share the results of their own studies during Members’ Interest meetings. The full year’s programme can be enlarged and viewed clicking the right-hand image.
