At the Museum, we love to hear what our visitors think of our collections and displays, and we especially like to be asked challenging and interesting questions about the town’s past!

It was a real pleasure when four students from Earl Mortimer College, with their teacher, visited the Museum in March. The school regularly produces podcasts about all sorts of topics, which are put up on their website and enjoyed by a large audience. The four, from Year 7 and Year 8, spent the first part of their visit walking round the Museum and recording their reactions to what they saw. They finished by interviewing Deborah Jarman, the Museum’s Education Officer, asking lots of thoughtful questions about the origins of the town and the Museum. Because they visited on Red Nose Day, they also shared a few good jokes!

It was great to hear their thoughts about what they saw. Come again soon – we have so many good Leominster stories to tell you!
