Victor Marchant RIP
Victor Marchant, MBE, FSA sadly died on Thursday 8th January 2009.
Victor ran the Windsor Archaeology society for more than thirty years. He was a renown archaeologist and from 1984 was Hon Secretary of the Council for British Archaeology (CBA) British Archaeological Awards.
His legacy to Windsor was the long running dig at Wraysbury which has yeilded many of the Anglo Saxon artifacts held by the Royal Borough Museum Collection. Victor strongly believed in ensuring that the information gained from archaeological digs should reach a wide audience. He would have been particularly gratified to see that many of the objects he and his team unearthed are currently on prominent display upstairs in the Library.
Victor will be sadly missed.
