Fulbeck Manor
Serving members of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families carried out an archaeological dig at Fulbeck Manor in August 2024, under the supervision of Dr Tim Clack of Oxford University and Prof Carenza Lewis of Lincoln University. The dig was funded by the Oxford University School of Archaeology.
The village of Fulbeck housed the Headquarters of the British 1st Airborne Division, whose staff were based in Fulbeck Hall and Fulbeck Manor.
The Headquarters elements of the 1st Airborne Division's Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and Royal Army Ordnance Corps were housed in Fulbeck Manor during 1944-1945.
Today, a craft centre and café are housed in the former Manor stables and are open to the public.
