Twelve Days of Crofton

Twelve Days of Crofton

We joined in with the Museums in Wiltshire #12DaysOfMuseumObjects (and people!) leading up to the end of December 2021. Great fun, and quite a challenge matching up the numbers. It doesn’t scan very well, except for ‘Five Square Head-ed Bolts.” Will try harder next year!

We wish a Happy Healthy New Year to one and all. Please keep an eye on our social media and website for the latest news about re-opening in spring and help spread the word about our Boiler Appeal as we move into 2022. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, £12,027.46 has been raised to date towards a projected cost of £30,000.
