Medieval Crafts exhibition 

 

‘Medieval Crafts’ is a celebration of the rich array of skills and trades practised during the medieval period. In this exhibition we will be exploring the stories behind the finished products.

 

‘Medieval Crafts’ will look at the tools and techniques used to make these artefacts, at how they changed and developed through time and how they fitted into wider medieval society. Come and see it now.
