Throwback Thursday📅
In October 1968, 58 years ago, workmen laying a drain alongside the A1077 in Winterton found a stone sarcophagus. Inside was the skeleton of a Roman woman, now known as the Winterton Lady. Here we see the sarcophagus being delivered to the Museum by crane, where it can still be seen today in the entrance.
