Whilst the Assistant Curator struggles against a busy work schedule to knock the exhibition into shape, things are moving fast on Trowbridge's other Magna Carta events. The Trowbridge in Bloom competition will feature displays of blue and yellow flowers to echo the colours of the de Bohun family coat-of-arms. Lord of the Manor of Trowbridge, Henry de Bohun, was pivotal in the creation of Magna Carta and in ensuring the terms therein were adhered to by King John.

The Assistant Curator surfing the net for a nice craftsman to borrow some medieval replicas from. She finds Richard Head of Melksham who makes bows, arrows, bucklers, daggers and innumerable wonderful things.
