Roman Sandy
Sandy Town Council, 10 Cambridge Road, Sandy, SG19 1JE.
The Town Council Offices house a small collection of finds and pictures about Roman Sandy. These exhibits were mostly collected following archaeological digs in the town’s cemetery between 1988 and 1991. The collection includes coins, vessels, personal and household effects and stone sculpture. Members of the public are welcome to visit the collection on Mondays and Wednesdays between the hours of 9am - 4pm and Fridays 9am - 2pm, other days and times by appointment only.(Please be aware that part of the display is housed in the Council Chamber and may not be available if a meeting is taking place.) Group visits may be made by arrangement with the Town Clerk.
We especially welcome visits from schools whose pupils want to learn more about the Romans in Sandy. Please contact us to find out how we can make your visit a success.

In 2018 the Council engaged AOC Archaeology to undertake an archaeological excavation of the towns former allotment site, which is to become an extension of the cemetery. The excavation works were a requirement of the planning permission for the new cemetery site.
In 2019 the Council will be hosting a talk from the excavators about their discoveries on this important site and what it means for our understanding of Roman Sandy.
