Brian Philp's memories of the 1965 dig of Faversham Abbey and Roman Villa

In the 60th anniversary year of the dig at the Abbey, we were lucky enough to be visited by Brian Philp who led both the digs. Brian's memories are very entertaining and it was great to hear his first hand account of the dig and their revelations about the astonishing scale of the Abbey.
