Our current header display shows Guild members, past and present, together with a few guests, all photographed just before the displays become open to visitors. The set-up schedule is often tight but we have never yet failed to be ready on time.

Visitors' comments on our events

Superb presentation. Very realistic.

We expected a routine visit. What an excellent surprise, full of interest.

Far more interesting than any of my history lessons.

 Absolutely brilliant and very educational.

An amazing trip back in time. The children were dumbstruck!

Most impressed by the event staged here today. Very authentic presentation. We enjoyed the visit immensely.

What a fantastic day. It made the house come alive for us - the smells, the food, the costumes and the time you took to talk to us.

Thank you for adding the marvellous atmosphere.

Superb! Informative, fascinating and explained by everybody with wit and erudition.

Very much enjoyed the living history, and especially the 'hands on' bit. It really brings it alive.

A quite absorbing experience.

Excellent. One of the best events. All of the participants were friendly and took time to explain.

The unexpected experience of seeing the house brought to life was extraordinary. Having been members of the National Trust for 15 years, this was the most meaningful visit.

An excellent way to bring the past to life. Well worth coming to see.

Well done on replicating all the tiny details. Very impressive.

A most enjoyable, stimulating and educational visit. History brought alive.

Superbly authentic. A 'must' for history teachers!
