We also have plans to run a stall at Chipping Show on Saturday 24th August where you can have a go at place name bingo or make a deer sculpture.....and then on Tuesday 10th September we will be running a trip to Lancashire Archives in Preston to see first hand some of the documents used in the research work and to unveil some of the mysteries of archive research - including reading old fashioned handwriting, like this!
