Prints and Drawings

The museum collection at Lydiard House contains a fascinating selection of prints and drawings, including watercolours, many of which are rarely seen. If not on display they are safely conserved for posterity and used for research purposes as well as featuring in displays and exhibitions from time to time.

Wills can be both fascinating and frustrating, for what they say, what or who they miss out and what they may be hinting at! A collection of wills for a single community like Lydiard Tregoze provides information which is useful to local, family and social historians.
