Happy Local History Month!

Join us at Bishop’s Stortford Museum to celebrate the launch of our new Roman Coin Exhibition located on the second floor!

Learn more about Roman coin hoards as well as the various Roman rulers throughout the period. Many of our Roman coins were originally part of the collection of George Pritchett, a local architect, inventor and radiologist. George Prtichett went on to design or restore over 60 churches, including St Michael’s, All Saints at Hockerill, and Holy Trinity in South Street. His architectural legacy also includes Oak Hall, his Tudor-style home built in the 1860s, and the Saffron Building Society premises in Potter Street. George Pritchett was an important figure in the creation and restoration of much of our local history in Bishop’s Stortford.

We would like to say a big thank you to all our volunteers for their work on our Roman coin display – especially to John for his coin knowledge and expertise!
