The SGS is the oldest antiquarian society in the UK, founded 1710. It may be old but very much living in today’s world.
We had a great time at our Victorian Christmas event at Ayscoughfee Hall Museum yesterday. Here is just a small selection of the seasonal crafts we made using recycled materials. Thank you to everyone who attended and to our fantastic helpers too! #familyfun #spalding
