Travel down a country life memory lane at Cogges


Country life in the past will be the subject of special reminiscence sessions led by Oxfordshire County Council history experts at Witney's Cogges Manor Farm Museum on Monday, June 15.

Officers from Hands on Oxfordshire's Heritage will bring fascinating collections of historical artefacts to the county council-run museum for people to handle and look at. The items will include photographs of past village life across Oxfordshire and objects from history, including a policeman's hat, handcuffs, a church collection pouch and a beer tankard.

Relive fond memories - Francesca Jones, Oxfordshire County Council's Manager for Cogges Manor Farm Museum , said: "Country life, as with anywhere, has changed over the years but people still have fond memories of their experiences in the country. We're fortunate that the county council has a huge collection of artefacts from past times, some of which people can view and handle at Cogges on June 15."

No booking is required for the free sessions in the Visitor Centre at the Church Lane Museum , which take place at 2pm and 3pm. Anybody wanting more information should call 01993 772602 or go to http://www.cogges.org/
