SUMMARY:Wiltshire's Woodland Biography: a new Ancient Woodland Inventory
DESCRIPTION:A talk with Euan Mckenzie (Ancient Woodland Inventory Officer at Wiltshire & Swindon Biological Record Centre) \nThe Ancient Woodland Inventory maps woodlands which are at least 400 years old. These irreplaceable habitats have been shaped by centuries of use for fuel and building materials\, but many are now under-managed or threatened from development. \nAs part of a Natural England-led project\, Wiltshire & Swindon Biological Records Centre (WSBRC) is gathering evidence to recreate the Inventory from scratch. This will include reviewing historical maps and documents held at WSHC\, as well as field surveys for woodland plants and archaeology. The new Inventory will capture ancient woodlands that are currently undesignated and help to protect them for future generations. \nThis talk will explore the historical and ecological value of ancient woodlands\, how we are approaching this significant piece of landscape history research\, and how volunteers can get involved. \nFREE but please book online. \nAs the county’s environmental records centre WSBRC has been collecting\, collating\, managing and interpreting biological data for over 40 years. We make this detailed information about the wildlife\, sites\, habitats and geology of Wiltshire & Swindon available to agreement holders\, customers and the public. By providing a range of data services we ensure that the data we hold is used to help monitor and protect the counties wildlife and habitats. http://wsbrc.org.uk/about-us/ \nThe Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre houses the county Wiltshire & Swindon Archive and Local Wiltshire Studies Library\, Archaeology team\, Wiltshire Buildings Record and the Conservation and Museums Advisory Service. https://wshc.org.uk/

SUMMARY:Queen and Country - an exhibition at Chippenham Museum for the Jubilee
DESCRIPTION:This summer the country celebrates Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee as she becomes the first British monarch to spend 70 years on the throne. This year also marks the 380th anniversary of the start of the English Civil War. \nPitting the monarchy against parliament\, the civil war divided the entire country and ended with the execution of a king. To mark these anniversaries Chippenham Museum is holding a dual exhibition ‘Queen and Country’ from 14 May – 23 July. \nHighlights in the exhibition include rare examples of 17th century gloves. One pair on loan from Dents Museum in Warminster are believed to have been belonged to King Charles I. The second pair have recently been acquired by Chippenham Museum with support from the Museums Association Beecroft Bequest. They are thought to have been worn by a member of the Talbot family of Lacock. \nThe exhibition will tie in with the Chippenham Town Council’s wider Jubilee celebrations in June\, and the Civil War Re-enactment coming to Monkton Park 23-24 July. The exhibition will be joined by re-enactors from the English Civil War Society on Saturday 4 June. \nChippenham Museum\, a Chippenham Town Council facility\, is free to visit and openMonday to Saturday\, including Bank Holidays\, 10am to 4pm. Located in the Market Place\, the museum tells the story Chippenham from its prehistoric origins to the present day.
