OCTOBER 2026 MEETING
Our next hall meeting is on Wednesday, 21 October 2026 in Holy Cross Church Hall, Butts Road,
SN4 0NN at 7.30pm when we will welcome David Mitchell to give his talk on ‘The North Wessex Way’. The North Wessex Way is an ancient trail that has been rediscovered by David since he began studying it in 2014. The route connects Oxford to Bristol and has likely been used since the Iron Age,
and is therefore one of the oldest routes in the country. Some of it now comprises A roads and B roads, but a significant section of 22 miles between Blunsdon and Luckington was forgotten and exists only
as non-descript narrow country lanes. Nothing remains to show the immense history that took place along its path for centuries. The story features King Alfred, Malmesbury Abbey, the Civil War and a couple of dodgy MPs in a rotten borough. Come along and hear the fascinating tale.
The talk will be preceded by our Annual General Meeting.
MUSEUM
The museum is in the Old Chapel, Butts Road, Chiseldon, SN4 0NW
and is open every Saturday from 2pm - 4pm until the end of September 2026.
ENTRY IS FREE
New displays for this year include a revamped section on the Chiseldon Cauldrons, 'School Days' and 'Pubs of the Parish'. There will also be a new series of exhibits on the theme 'medicine in the past'. Come along and see for yourselves.
