The Lost Monuments of Abingdon exhibition at Abingdon County Hall Museum explores buildings and structures that have disappeared from the town. The exhibition features a range of excavated artefacts and information boards. It opened on July 1st and runs until October 1st.

The lost monuments include:
* Abingdon’s Iron Age Oppidum (traces of a ditch indicate the iron age town’s defences)
* Abingdon Abbey Church
* Abingdon Market Cross
* Barrow Hills
* Mastervision TV Mast
* Union Workhouse (with model)

There is a video of Jeff Wallis, an archaeologist, walking around Abingdon and pointing out places where the Iron Age Oppidum and a Roman Temple have been excavated. An interactive map allows you to explore the locations of the lost monuments without visiting the museum at https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/lost-monuments-of-abingdon/tour.html.

I found the exhibition to be very informative and interesting. Thanks to local historians, the museum, and Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council, who run the museum.
