Unlocking Buckinghamshire's Past
Welcome to the Unlocking Buckinghamshire’s
Past website, which includes the Historic Environment Record for the county of
Buckinghamshire. The database contains over 17,000 records not only of
traditional archaeological sites like excavations, earthworks and stray
artefacts but also historic buildings and landscapes and covers periods from the
earliest humans to the twentieth century. You can text search or search using
the digital map. You can look at what is in the database about your parish or
read a period overview of archaeology in the whole county. There are free
teaching resources for use at Key Stages 2 and 3. There are also guides on how
to start researching the past and getting involved in archaeology, and much
more!
This database has been made possible by a grant from the Heritage
Lottery Fund, support from Buckinghamshire County Council, the Chilterns AONB
Conservation Board, the Buckinghamshire Archaeological Society and the Council
for British Archaeology (South Midlands).
The Historic Environment Record is compiled, maintained and continually developed by the County Archaeological Service of Buckinghamshire County Council. This online version of the Historic Environment Record is not authorised for legal or planning related work.
