Nantwich Museum’s call for donations to acquire a Late Bronze Age hoard has been successful.
The museum has received or been offered contributions by members of the public and commercial organisations well above the £690 target.
Nantwich Museum is bidding to buy a late Bronze Age collection of items known as “Wrenbury Hoard”.
The collection of seven objects are believed to around 3,000 years old and was discovered in the Wrenbury area of Nantwich.
A Roman coin hoard dating from the second century and found in Acton by a metal detectorist, has been acquired by Nantwich Museum.
The hoard includes five silver denarii (equal to ten asses) deposited in a distinctive lead cone-shaped container.
Nantwich Museum has two talks taking place in March.
On Saturday 14 March, Rev John Whitehead will speak on The Staffordshire Hoard and the Realm of Mercia.
