Could you be a local history detective?
2026-05-16 09:00 - 17:00 | Chippenham Library
Join local historian Lucy Whitfield at Chippenham library for a local history trail.
Hunt throughout the building, and the shelves, for clues to piece together the history of two local Chippenham characters. And be in the running for a special chocolate prize.
Hidden amongst the shelves in the library will be clues to these two special characters of Chippenham – Margaret Griffin and Ann Colborne – and your job is to find all the information and put together their stories.
You can follow the story of Ann or Margaret, or even look at them both.
And there’s two ways to look too – a simpler trail for families (under-14s), and a more in-depth trail for individuals (15-adults) which involves more research in the library – so suitable for anyone and everyone who’s interested in the history of our fabulous town.
There’ll be four chances of a chocolate prize – each drawn from the families and from the individual answers of both the Ann trail and the Margaret trail, so lots to play for.
Can YOU discover the trail and piece the clues together?
Completely free. No need to book.

This event is part of the Chippenham – Our History project. Find out more on this website here.
