A Tale of Two Houses

Chippenham Museum

Get a different perspective on Chippenham's history via the people who lived within its walls with Lucy Whitfield.

“Two houses, both alike in dignity. In fair Chippenham, where we lay our scene.”Local historian Lucy Whitfield also investigates the history of local houses, as well as finding obscure historical women for <a href="https://thewomenwhomademe.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Women Who Made Me</a> project and occasionally dressing up as a Saxon. She has been invited by Chippenham Museum to do her best ‘A House Through Time’ impression and tell you about two different dwellings in Chippenham she’s investigated recently. You’ll get a different perspective on the town’s history via the people who lived within their walls. There’ll be agricultural labourers, military heroes, widows, a link to Kilvert, a butcher, a baker… and a cycle shop owner.Booking is essential for this free talk via Zoom.
