Stafford’s Ancient High House was the subject of our talk in April when our speaker was Vivien Williamson. The history of the house and it’s various owners was described in detail, punctuated with interesting facts and amusing tales, dating back to the 16th century. Vivien had brought along a selection of pictures and articles relating to the house for us to peruse. At the next meeting on 5th May we welcome Elaine and Julia, ‘The Potty Plotters’ as featured in Derbyshire Life magazine and on local radio. 

Membership of the guild is £15-00 per year.
