The first of a series of talks accompanying the “Nantwich and the First World War” exhibition at Nantwich Museum takes place this week.
Prominent local historian Mark Potts will speak on “The Great War – the cost to the families of Nantwich” tomorrow (Wednesday August 20).
Mark will focus on 1914/15 and will recount stories of people of the time.
His recently published book, “Where the Fallen Live Forever”, co-authored with Tony Marks, is also on sale in the museum shop on Pillory Street.
The talk will take place in the Millennium Gallery on the ground floor of the museum, at 3pm.
Tickets cost £3 (Museum Members £2) and are available from the museum shop.
The exhibition is being financed by a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant of £3,800 covering the cost of the display materials, interactive elements, a programme of events and accompanying literature.
It has also enabled members of the museum involved in its development to make fact-finding visits to other museums.
There will be more talks planned during the exhibition which runs until September 27.
