Middleton Archaeological Society

The archaeology of Middleton, Manchester

Middleton Archaeological Society was formed in 2011 following an archaeological investigation of Middleton's historic parish church - St. Leonard s. Our society is dedicated to researching the archaeological and historical fabric of the town of Middleton.

Grass Roots: Our emphasis is on historical and archaeological investigations through grass-roots community engagement. We encourage active participation in all our research and events.

Middleton's Rich History: We are self-funded though memberships and we welcome all with an interest in Middleton and it's rich history and archaeology.

Regular Events: The society organises monthly talks which are held at our adoptive home of the Olde Boars Head on Long Street. Our events are scheduled for the last Thursday each month (we do not have one in December), each event starts at 7. 30pm. Our events are open, all we ask is a small entrance fee of £3 for non-members. Our events are also an opportunity for people who share similar interests to us to come along an see if they like us and would like to join.
