On September 14th, The Community Hall in Market Lavington will be the venue for our fourth annual Museum Miscellany. This year’s topics will include people at work
Here we see Bessie Gye as a butcher’s van driver
There will be a section called ‘In the Soil’ and this features metal detector finds in the parish.
This is a Scottish silver penny from the 1280s.
We’ll feature church and chapel life
There will be a photo tour of the villages
All this and more and, of course, our famous food made from recipe books we have in the museum. Maybe, this year, we’ll have Uncle Walter James’s fruit cake.
We hope to show some of our wonderful collection of magic lantern slides as well – a kind of Victorian horror show.
The event starts at 7.30 pm and admission is still just a fiver. Tickets are on sale in Market Lavington Post Office.
