Event Description

Tenbury Museum will feature informative special displays of people who contributed to the history of the town through their service or creative talents.

Mr Edward Goff, who endowed the Victorian School which houses the museum, will be one of the people featured in special displays of archival photographs and informative text. Other names will include James Cranston, the designer of the town’s iconic Pump Rooms, and Thomas Mantle, a coal carver who tried to give Princess Victoria a carving as her carriage stopped to change horses at a local hotel. An odd link is Mr Goff’s endowment arose from a fortune amassed through becoming a coal merchant following a very poor childhood!
