Roman Festival

Our town centre guided tour describes the layout of the earlier medieval town before telling the story of the Georgian market town which became a prosperous regional market centre for nearly three centuries.

The layout of Malton town centre has changed very little since medieval times, but its early origins are now well concealed behind later Georgian and Victorian buildings. St Mary’s Priory Church in Old Malton is the largest remaining visible evidence of a flourishing medieval past.

This tour takes a route along a stretch of riverbank via Navigation Wharf, now a forgotten backwater, telling the story of Malton’s 18th and 19th century transport and trade, and life before the motor car.

This tour explains the layout of the fort, which was as large as any on Hadrian’s Wall, and the story of the XIV legion which inhabited it for a time.

To celebrate #hadrian1900 and the Romans and to coincide with our 2022 exhibition entitled ‘What lies Beneath?’ we will have a family fun day during the ‘Festival of Archaeology’ on Sunday 24th of July.
