Friends of Cookham Abbey (FCA) was set up in 2022 to raise funds to support the post-excavation conservation and analysis of the excavation and to help people get involved with our research through education and outreach.  Our aims are to support the post-excavation conservation and analysis of finds and remains from the excavation.  To embed the results of the project in local communities to give people pride in their shared heritage, and to build thriving communities.
