History Society: Crofton Beam Engines ~ A Social History

October 19, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

History Society talk in Marlborough

SPEAKER:  

David Throup: retiring from a career in high performance electronic engineering, a second career helping to maintain some Georgian technology was the obvious choice. What started as a fun thing to do on a Tuesday turned into a multi faceted journey through the mind of James Watt and his impact on this corner of Wiltshire.

TOPIC:  

Crofton Beam Engines – its families 1808-1959. Over this time only 13 families have lived and worked to run the engines pumping water to the top of the Kennet and Avon Canal. This is their story interwoven with great technological changes.

Tickets available on the door £5

Free entry to History Society Members.

Gift Aid Declaration

Thank you so much for donating to St Peter’s and St Paul’s Marlborough Trust. Your support is helping us to raise vital funds in order to preserve this building of significant historic interest and to provide a centre for the community to explore its history and enjoy its space.

If you sign up to Gift Aid, a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer, it means that without donating a penny extra, you're helping us keep St Peter's Church open for years to come.

There are a couple of reasons that may affect our ability to reclaim that extra money, so please contact us within 21 days if:
You expect to pay less than your Gift Aid value, in UK income and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current year, or your personal details, such as name and address have changed.

If you have not paid enough tax to meet the Gift Aid claimed by St Peter’s and St Paul’s Marlborough Trust and have not notified us of this, HMRC may seek to recover this sum from you directly, as it is your responsibility to pay any difference. You can get in touch with us on contact@stpetersmarlborough.org.uk if you have any questions.
