A DILAPIDATED folly which lies half-buried in woodland near Whitchurch could be brought back to life as a space for dramatic and musical performances.
A team of archaeologists has begun digging up the brick and flint structure on the Hardwick Estate, off Hardwick Road, and is seeking volunteers to help finish the project.
They need to remove a layer of collapsed soil up to 1m deep covering the so-called “bear pit” above Hardwick Stud, which is thought to have originally been a chalk quarry and was accessible to the public many decades ago.

Senior Australian of the Year and Indigenous artist and educator, Miriam Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann, will be a headline guest at Renew Fest in May this year.
Miriam Rose, who is from the N gangiwumirr language group in Nauiyu (Daly River) country of the Northern Territory, is well known for bringing the Indigenous way of ‘dadirri’ (translated as ‘deep listening’) to mainstream Australia.
Festival director Ella Rose Goninan says, ‘Deep listening has been a core value for Renew Fest since its very beginning, and was directly inspired by Miriam Rose’s work, so we are very humbled and excited to have Miriam Rose join us this year. There is so much to learn from her, and from Indigenous ways of listening to the Earth, each other, and our hearts’.
