Visit to Warwickshire County Record Office

Volunteers for the Hidden Lives Remembered Project were shown how to use an archive by Rob and Amy.

Rob showed us some of the different documents the archive has about Middlefield Hospital.

These included admissions registers, case books, medical records, maps and newspaper cuttings.

Jennifer - Heritage Treasures Day

For #HeritageTreasures Day, Jennifer discusses a piece of heritage that is very important to her.

It is the Middlefield Hospital foundation stone.

This is the only piece of the original Middlefield building that still remains.

She talks about what the foundation stone made her think and feel. She reflects on why the stone is important to our past, present and future.

Thanks again to Knowle Masonic Centre http://www.kmcentre.epizy.com/?i=1 for letting us view the stone.
