Step into the darker side of Lydiard’s history during Rogues and Rascals Week
A new display, Murder at the Inn, will shed light on the notorious 1684 brawl involving MPs Henry St John and Edmund Webb, which resulted in the death of Sir William Estcourt MP.
Visitors will be able to see a newly-acquired painting of Estcourt, as well as Henry St John’s official pardon from King Charles II.
Lydiard House Museum will be open Wednesday to Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm, from 10 October to 18 October.
The display is included with museum admission.
Guided tours will also take place throughout the week, offering visitors the chance to hear more stories about some of Lydiard’s other rogues and rascals. This costs £20 per person, including a cream tea.
