Since March 2013, MOLA community archaeologist, Lauren Woodard, has been leading a project with students from Hackney Community College to help engage them with the built heritage of their local area.
This is a pilot initiative funded through an IfA bursary placement that aims to set the foundations for further community-led built heritage projects supported by MOLA.
Using the practical skills involved in buildings archaeology, the students have been getting to know Clapton Old Schoolhouse; a 19th century stone schoolhouse nestled on the riverbank at Lea Bridge.
