New History Exhibition in Stafford

MEDICAL EXHIBITION GETS CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH

The latest history exhibition will be unveiled at the Ancient High House on Tuesday (13 May.)

“In Sickness and in Health: Medical Treatment in Stafford 1750 - 1900”, examines the changes in medicine and surgery, and the development in the provision of care in the town’s hospitals and asylums.

The Borough Council-run exhibition features items from various local museums and collections many on public display for the first time.

Mark Hartwell, Heritage Sites Manager for Stafford Borough Council said; “we would like to thank the many people and organisations who have loaned us artefacts for the exhibition programme. Without their support we would not be able to produce exhibitions that bring important collections together in a public arena.”

The Ancient High House is open Tuesday to Saturday 10.00am to 4.00pm. Admission is free. For further information telephone (01785) 619131
