SUMMARY:The Power of the Particular: Brief Lives Creative Writing Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chippenham Museum Creative Writing Group for a series of linked workshops celebrating the 400th anniversary of the birth of local antiquarian and famous biographer\, John Aubrey. The workshops will be led by Lesley Taylor\, an experienced facilitator\, and will draw inspiration from Aubrey’s work and the museum’s summer exhibition. \nBorn in Kington St Michael in 1626\, Aubrey was a biographer\, archaeologist\, scientist\, naturalist\, and oral historian. He valued the minutiae of everyday life\, and his writing is rich with specific (and often witty) details that bring the past to life. \nDrawing on his most well-known work\, Brief Lives – written portraits of key figures of his day – the workshops will explore how to write with greater detail. Sessions will provide an opportunity to develop the skill of telling your own stories with clarity\, experimenting with a range of forms including flash fiction\, memoir\, poetry\, and creative non-fiction. \nSuitable for beginners and experienced writers alike\, this series of monthly workshops will culminate in An Evening with Aubrey at the museum\, where participants’ work will be shared and celebrated. The date for this celebratory event is to be confirmed. \nEach session costs £5 per person. Spaces are limited\, so booking is essential. Please contact the museum to reserve your place. \n \nFind out more about the Chippenham – Our History project on this website here.

SUMMARY:Louise Ryland-Epton talk: Agnes Mylles and the murder by witchcraft of William Bayntun
DESCRIPTION:In 1563 a witchcraft act was passed by the English parliament. It formed the legal basis for all English witchcraft trials. In early 1564\, a baby\, William Bayntun died in north Wiltshire\, allegedly murdered by witchcraft. Three legal cases followed\, and three women were implicated in the murder plot — a local widow\, Agnes Mylles from Stanley near Chippenham\, the child’s aunt\, Dorothy Bayntun\, and his mother\, Agnes Bayntun\, a cousin to Queen Elizabeth I. The three were accused by a fourth woman\, a witchfinder. The cases had dreadful consequences for almost all the protagonists\, leading to imprisonment\, torture\, and ultimately the execution of Agnes Mylles\, the first recorded person to be executed in England for the crime of witchcraft. This is a tragic tale of toxic family relationships played out in the Chippenham area against the backdrop of the Tudor Reformation. \nThe event is FREE but please register at Chippenham Library\, or call the library on 01249 6750536. \n \nFind out more about the Chippenham – Our History project on this website here.
