We have recently purchased the old cinema clock, a box made from the original Maiden Beech tree, and a camera for the History Room, for taking copies of printed material and photographs. This makes them easier to use for research, without damaging the originals. We have also paid for the very smart new sign at the front of the museum - a great improvement on the old one. We also pay for any specialist packing material for storing artifacts, which is very expensive. |
