Forthcoming Events Apr-May 10
Court in Action Study Day - Study Day - Saturday 24 April
Archivist Anne George, who has spent the last year cataloguing the Quarter Sessions bundles, together with Thea Randall and Dudley Fowkes, will share with us the richness of these records - documents relating to the diverse business of the Court of Quarter Sessions in its dual role of dispensing justice and administering the county - from convictions to corn prices, rogues to roads and paupers to printing presses... Join us on Saturday 24 April 2010 at Staffordshire Record Office for the Court in Action Study Day.
An Introduction to Garden History in Staffordshire - Study Day - Thursday 13 May

They will explore changing styles and planting over four centuries, using examples from Staffordshire gardens. This is a course for those who want to understand historic gardens and to increase their appreciation of them.
The Study Day runs from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m., and costs £35.00 to include lunch and refreshments. To make a booking please telephone Pendrell Hall College on 01902 434112 (Pendrell Hall College, Codsall Wood, near Wolverhampton, WV8 1QP).
