Lewis said the success of the digs had made her excited for more later this year.”We’ve got a little bit of a grip on Newtown Linford, so going to Stanton-Under-Bardon, we’ll be able to compare the results.”And then in July, we’re going to be doing the same thing again at Woodhouse and Woodhouse Eves, which I think will be the biggest of all of them.”Jan Croft, 73, who volunteered her garden for the digs in Newtown Linford, said she had fun taking part.”I wasn’t worried about them digging up my garden,” she said.”The badger often comes and it’s practically turfed the whole of the garden over before. Within three months, it’s fine.”
