On September 4th 2004, Tony Robinson officially opened Piddington Museum in front of a large crowd of invited onlookers.  The Upper Nene Archaeological Society (U.N.A.S.) originally bought redundant Wesleyan Chapel in 1992 and have spent the intervening period engaged in restoration and fund raising, which eventually resulted in a substantial grant from the Heritage Lottery Commission.  The museum now displays some of the finds that have been made during the long running excavation of the Piddington Villa (25 years and still going strong).  Apart from the displays and the finds store, the museum also has a library and study room.  At present, the museum is only opening on Sunday afternoons (2pm -5pm) but for further details contact roy@friendship-taylor.freeserve.co.uk
