If you are interested in old manuscripts and documents, perhaps of local significance, you may be interested in the following received from John Hopkins, archivist-
John Hopkins, a retired archivist in Stoke Prior, is offering a free course in mastering old records over a period of several weeks from Wednesday 9 March in Stoke Prior Village Hall. It is proposed to work back from about 1900 to the fifteenth century. Attendees will have a chance to read copies of old documents and learn how to transcribe them.
Homework will be voluntary! Later on there will be a Latin option for anyone interested. Sessions will last from 2pm to about 3.30. There will be a small charge to cover cost of hiring the hall (£1 or £2).
Come along and learn about your past!
