The Mendlesham Armoury, housed over the north porch of the church for more than 500 years, is the only one of its kind left in England.
This talk begins in 1695, when the militia and armoury cease to be mentioned in the church wardens accounts, documenting the change of circumstances the armoury has gone through in the centuries since the doors closed for the last time.
Then you'll hear more about the Mendlesham Armoury Facelift Project’s plans for better conservation, interpretation and display.
All money from this talk goes towards the project.
