Monday 23 June 2025 7:30pm - 9pm
There will be three workshops in June on Wymeswold social history and life stories, from original sources. We will look at a type of original document, and what they tell us about people’s lives in the past – using Wymeswold examples to tell specific people’s stories. They will last 1.5 hours each and will take place on the following dates and times:
Monday 9 June 7.30pm – Last wills and testaments (religious belief; family life)
Monday 16th June, 7.30pm – Probate Inventories (how people made a living; what their houses and their contents were like).
Monday 23rd June, 7.30pm – Settlement documents and indentures (the lives and experiences of the poorer members of Wymeswold’s community).
You can sign up by emailing pccwymeswold@outlook.com. Numbers will determine venue.
