The Market Bosworth Society would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the Bosworth Links project, without whose support and hard work we could never have succeeded. We would especially like to thank Peter Loseby, whose inspiration and enthusiasm initiated the project, and project chair Nigel Palmer and the members of the Bosworth Links committee, Judy Buckell, Marion Lambourne, Richard Liddington, Mary Lowles, Mathew Morris, Roger Thomas, Gemma Tallis and Jon Whiting, who brought it to fruition.
We would also like to thank our partners and funders, University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS), the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Parish Communities Initiative Fund, the Dixie Educational Foundation, Market Bosworth Parish Council, the Richard III Legacy Fund and the Heart of England Co-Op; also, Leicestershire Victoria County History Trust and the School of Heritage and Culture, University of Leicester for providing equipment; and the Dixie Grammar School, Bosworth Parish Hall, St Andrew’s Church (Carlton), Cadeby Community Development Trust, Coton Priory Farm, St John the Evangelist Church (Shenton), Shackerstone Parish Council, the Rising Sun Public House, St Mary the Virgin Church (Congerstone) and Top House Farm (Shenton), for use of their facilities.
From our seven research settlements, we would like to extend a special thank you to the landowners, homeowners and tenants who generously provided access to their gardens, allotments, orchards, woods, fields and other green spaces. We would also like to extend an enormous thank you to all the volunteers who contributed to the project, digging and recording test-pits, and collecting, processing and cataloguing finds. Without your enthusiasm, help and support we could never have completed this project.
Finally, the Market Bosworth Society would like to thank the members of its committee and all the staff from ULAS whose invaluable support has guided us throughout the project; and to Bill Newsinger, whose dig films have brilliantly captured the spirit of Bosworth Links.
