A Glimpse of Tudor Domestic Life in Barton

Barton Civic Society’s next talk is this Friday, 19 November at Wilderspin at 7.30pm.

Neil Wilkyn analyses a probate inventory to give us a tantalising glimpse into the home of a Barton resident in the sixteenth century.  What possessions did they have?  What was their furniture like?   Imagine looking through the window into a house from 500 years ago.

Non members £2 – but bring raffle money too!
