Nantwich Museum have launched a series of Autumn talks which will all take place in the Museum’s Millennium Gallery.
The talks are designed to support the current free exhibition “Ancient Villages – Seven Miles round Nantwich”.
On Thursday 18 September, 7pm – ‘Acton in the English Civil War’
During the English Civil War Acton was the site of a small garrison defending the northern approaches to Nantwich.
Find out what happened during this turbulent period.
On Thursday 25 September, 7pm – ‘James Hall, Historian of Nantwich… and travel writer’
James Hall is known as the author of the ‘History of Nantwich’.
However, we look beyond that to his next but sadly unpublished work – a travellers’ guide to Nantwich and the surrounding area.
Thursday 2 October, 7pm – ‘Warmundestru (Nantwich) Hundred and the Domesday Book’
Find out about the life and landscape of the Warmundestru Hundred as described in the Domesday Book.
Thursday 9 October, 7pm – ‘Cheshire Place Names’
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about the places that you pass through, this journey through Cheshire’s linguistic heritage offers surprising insights.
The talks cost £6 (£5 Museum members), children free.
Tickets for the talks are available from the museum or online at www.nantwichmuseum.org.uk and https://www.facebook.com/nantwichmuseum
