The Society are delighted to announce that the 2026 Symposium will take place at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, Godstow Road, Wolvercote Roundabout, Oxford, OX2 8AL over the weekend of 18 – 20 September 2026.
The hotel has plenty of bedrooms and parking and conference facilities, which we will use for the Symposium talks on Saturday and Sunday and also the AGM. Although the Friday activities are yet to be finalised it is intended to walk to nearby Wolvercote Cemetery, where Lawrence’s parents and brother Bob are buried, and Port Meadow, where there is a Bronze Age barrow that Lawrence and Will excavated when they were boys.
This is also the site of a WW1 airfield. Saturday and Sunday will see four presentations each day and on Saturday the Symposium dinner will take place at the hotel. A call for speakers will go out soon and booking details for the hotel will be made available as soon as possible.
