A wonderful evening at @WitneyMuseum celebrating their recent National Lottery grant, learning about Witney’s gold medal-winning Olympian(!), and trying on a rather natty poncho.
What a fantastic resource to have on our doorstep - it’s open until the end of Oct; check it out!

Tomorrow is our Volunteer Open Day!
Please do come along for a chat if you wish to join our brilliant band of volunteers. Last week some of the them joined other winners at the Citizens of the Year reception to be awarded Heritage Organisation of the Year 2022.
Well done all!

Trying to find a few more details, working back, a May 1927 Journal notes 'Work on the drill hall at Witney is steadily progressing-the roof being already on; it is
possible that the hall will be completed in some six weeks time.'

Langdale Hall, Witney. Built 1927 as a drill hall for the local territorial detachment of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry. Now owned by the town council and used as a public hall and function rooms #Witney #History @DrillHalls

These rather fine old bollards next to Witney’s historic Buttercross could do with some TLC @WitneyMuseum @WorldBollard @WitneyTownCounc
