SUMMARY:Civil War Encampment 2025
DESCRIPTION:The English Civil War Society comes to Chippenham as Chippenham Town Council plays host to Sir Marmaduke Rawdon’s Regiment of Foote as they establish a Soldiers Encampment and Living History Village in Monkton Park. \nThe Island\, Monkton Park\, Saturday 14 – Sunday 15 June\n11am – 4pm \nIt’s 1643. It has been just a few days since Royalist Armies saw fierce fighting at Lansdown Hill near Bath\, before marching through Chippenham and on to Devizes. A detachment of Royalist soldiers is encamped by the river on Chippenham Island to ensure that the Town is protected from any enemy. Some of the Townsfolk have also set up camp nearby\, to display their wares for sale to the soldiers and any visitors. \nPlease feel free to visit the encampment\, find out more about Chippenham in the Civil War and watch the displays throughout the day. Don’t forget to take part in The Gunner’s Raffle and win a chance to fire the Cannon! \nThe programme is repeated both days: \n11am: The cannon opens fire with the first shot of the day\, ready to bombard any enemy approaching the town \n11.15am: The Musketeers practice firing their muskets\, reloading as fast as they can before opening fire once again \n11.45am: A demonstration of combat skills by the Pikemen; armoured soldiers with 16-foot-long spears tipped with steel \n12.15pm: The Colonel needs more new soldiers for his regiment and wants to train young people to become brave Pikemen \n12.45pm: Officers and Soldiers take a hurried meal before returning to their duties \n1.15pm: The Cannon ‘Gives Fire’ once again as the Gunners demonstrate how to load and fire under Battlefield conditions as fast as they can \n1.45pm: Journey of the Soldier from Queen Bess to Queen Anne: A visual demonstration revealing how the English soldier changed and adapted over 100 years \n2.30pm: A Drill and ‘Exercise of Armes’ by Rawdon’s Regiment – Pikemen\, Musketeers and Drums \n3.15pm: The Colonel (still) needs more new soldiers for his regiment and wants to train young people to become brave Pikemen \n3.45pm: Fierce combat as enemy soldiers attack the Campsite. \n17th Century trades and crafts will be demonstrated by the townsfolk which will include a working printing press giving out the latest news sheets with tidings of the War and other news. Here the re-enactors will be happy to meet visitors\, explain their work and share stories about Chippenham’s role in the English Civil War. \nLook forward to the main event on Saturday 25 July & Sunday 26 July 2026 when you will be able to see The King’s Army and the Roundhead Association together in a fight to decide whether the town will be Royalist or throw in its lot with Parliament!

This is an opportunity for you to explore some of the amazing documents in the Wiltshire and Swindon Archive collections in a friendly and informal setting. \nThe group meets every other month on a Saturday\, led by Community History Advisor Gianna Torchia.

DESCRIPTION:Unlocking History with AI: How Can Technology Transform Your Experience with Archives? \nAre you fascinated by history and curious about how artificial intelligence (AI) can change the way we discover and engage with the past? Join an exciting research project exploring how AI-driven content transformation can enhance access and interaction with historical archives! \nFalmouth University student\, Ian McGinn\, as part of his masters degree research in User Experience Design\, is investigating how AI can help make historical archives more discoverable and engaging. With AI\, we can transform traditional content into interactive and new formats\, such as audio descriptions\, podcasts\, summaries\, and digital enhancements. \nWhether you are a frequent user of archives or someone who wants to explore historical content in new\, innovative ways\, your participation will contribute to research in this exciting field\, helping to uncover the way we interact with and understand our shared heritage. \nParticipation involves exploring AI-transformed archival materials and sharing your feedback through a combination of observations and short interviews. \nIf you’re interested in being part of this innovative study\, please reach out directly to Ian at im318630@falmouth.ac.uk or through us at archives@wiltshire.gov.uk \nAlternatively\, you can call the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre on\n01249 705500 to express your interest.\nThe study will take place on Wednesday 13th\, Friday 15th\, and Friday 22nd November at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre.

SUMMARY:Women's History: Maud Heath & Beyond\, Exploring the Lives of Women Before 1600
DESCRIPTION:Maud Heath is one of Wiltshire’s most well-known mediaeval women\, with a causeway named after her and monuments raised in her honour. Yet she is one of many women of Wiltshire before 1600 whose lives are notable and worthy of celebration\, but whose stories are not studied or recounted. \nThis study day explores women’s history before 1600—women’s diverse impacts on the society\, economy\, religion and politics of the world around them. The event will feature papers and discussions and will draw\, in part\, on academics involved in the Victoria County History project\, presenting their insights from research in place-based histories from Wiltshire and beyond. \nThe event is specifically designed to promote the long-overlooked discipline of women’s history and will appeal to local history enthusiasts\, historians\, genealogists and anyone interested in women’s lives in Wiltshire past. \nThe keynote speaker is Professor Catherine Clarke\, Director of the History of People\, Place and Community at the Institute of Historical Research who will question the role of Artificial Intelligence in women’s history research with a fascinating look at whether AI can reflect back our own assumptions\, prejudices\, and gaps in our historical knowledge\, and if there ways we can use generative AI productively\, to re-visit gaps and uncertainties\, to re-tell women’s stories\, and start new conversations? \nThis study day forms part of the Maud Heath National Lottery Funded project which provides free entry to this event but places can be booked via Eventbrite. \nMaud Heath and Beyond: Exploring the Lives of Women Before 1600 at The Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre event tickets from TicketSource. \nFree parking is available in front of the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre\, which is a 5–10 minute walk from Chippenham Railway Station. \nFor further information contact Emily Malcolm\, email emily@yesterdaysstory.co.uk
