Heritage Talk: A Church and its People - The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery

A Church through Time. A social history of Valley village life told through the characters and stories of the people of Helmshore's parish church. Join us for 175 years of whip rounds, Rose Queens, parades, pulling together and falling apart. St Thomas Musbury has been described by the Civic Trust as A hidden gem, and one of the very best traditional churches we have left in Rossendale.

Talk by George Garlick, whose recently published booklet will be available (sold in aid of church repairs) for 5 on the night.
