It was announced in early August 2007 that Tutbury Civic Society had succeeded in obtaining a grant of £36,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for a detailed archaeological survey to determine the date of origin and purpose of the earthworks around Tutbury known as the Park Pale. |

It was a feature of Tutbury Civic Society’s grant application that school children should be much involved in this work with the belief that this would help perpetuate an understanding of and respect for Tutbury’s history. |

Well, what is going on? At the present moment the collected field data will have been downloaded for the desk research where features of it will be compared with known data from other sites and information already collected about Tutbury’s history and eventually the report will be published to Tutbury Civic Society in late March early April this year. |
