History Society: Marlborough by Gaslight

October 17 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

TOPIC: “Marlborough by Gaslight”

On December 2nd 1997 a “Victorian Extravaganza” was held in Marlborough High Street, which was closed to traffic. Late night shopping was made available, and a variety of stalls, displays and street entertainment provided.  Victorian Marlborough was a very different place to what it is now. The gasworks, prison, workhouse, tanneries, breweries, rope works, and railway stations are all gone but they continue to cast a shadow.

SPEAKER: Nick Baxter

Nick Baxter is a local historian, author, speaker, tour guide and Marlborough College Summer School tutor.

 

The Marlborough History Society warmly welcomes guests to our talks at £5.00 per person. Students are free.

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.
