The first Millenium Timeline panel (from the set of 7 on display in the Checker at the Abbey Buildings) shows Abingdon Through The Ages from 195 million years BC to 800 BC. The Millennium Timeline was created in the year 2000 by the Abingdon Area Archaeological & Historical Society with the support of Millennium Festival Awards for All, the Joint Environment Trust for Abingdon and Abingdon Town Council. It was designed by Linda Francis, with artwork by Muriel Halliday. Click this link to see a slide-show of all 7 panels of the Millennium Timeline.
