An archaeological dig in Wisbech is set to open to the public.
The Fenland Archaeological Society (FenArch) is conducting the dig at the former St Peter’s Vicarage garden, now Inspiration House.
The site, located at the edge of St Peter’s free car park, has had buildings since 1252.
FenArch has done historical research and geophysical surveys to prepare.
The dig will start a few days before the public open days, which run from July 31 to August 2.
During this time, the public can visit the site, view discoveries, hear about the site's history, and observe archaeologists at work.

FenArch is unsure of what might be discovered, stating: "Even after the surveys, we have little idea of what lies under the earth."
This community event is free and organised by volunteer archaeologists and historians.
However, the terrain is not suitable for wheelchairs, and children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
The public are invited to join from July 31 to August 2, to partake in the unfolding story of the site.
