Do you know something Lawrence House Museum doesn’t? And, if so, can you help?

Lawrence House Museum will be re-opening for the 2020 season on Monday, March 30 but before it opens, the team of volunteers have some questions for Post readers connected with the first exhibition for the year which is about the history and customs of the churches and chapels in the Launceston area.

They have not yet decided on a title for the exhibition though ‘Sin & Salvation’ and ‘Prayer & Persecution’ have both been suggested — after all Launceston has dealt severely in the past with some of those who did not follow an accepted path of Christian worship.

What the museum really would like to borrow though are photographs of social events at local churches and chapels, for example tea treats, outings, fêtes, patronal and harvest festivals and so on.

If you have such a photograph and are prepared to lend it to the museum, please contact the museum by telephone or email.

Although the museum is closed, it does not hibernate and a volunteer will return your call or email to discuss the matter with you. Indeed, if you have any object which might interest the team organising this exhibition, please contact them.

Lawrence House Museum re-opens on Monday, March 30 at 10.30am. Entry to the museum is still free so you can come as often as you like. Opening times are 10.30am to 4.30pm (last entry 4pm) Monday to Saturday and all Bank Holidays.

The museum can be contacted by telephone on 01566 773277 and by email [email protected] Check out the website at www.lawrencehousemuseum.org
