How a family of swans was rescued from a Petersfield garden

An event on Tuesday 25 August at Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery thanked people who bought an engraved brick.

The audience was treated to a talk by local historian Bill Gosney who enthusiastically told the story of the 15 year quest to build the museum in the Victorian Police Station and Court House from its previous storage location on The Spain.

Chairman of Trustees, Jeremy Mitchell, speaks to Mike Waddington about the importance of campaigns like this and the support it brings. 

He also talks about some of their collections -- like the Don Eades photography collection and some missing wedding photos.

And he reminds us Daniel Day Lewis is a patron of the Museum.

We also hear from two people who bought a brick.
