troduced the guest
speaker, Mrs. Helen
Owen, who came here
from England a little
under a year ago and is
staying in the village
while she works on
completing a book
started last year.
She spoke of her early
childhood, spent mostly
in the City of West-
minster (London proper),
and of the interest she
developed in things
historical. It was very
hard indeed, she said, to
spend one's time in the
shadow of the Houses of
Parliament, of the British
Museum, the Tower,
Buckingham Palace and
countless other

tascinating and historical
landmarks without
developing a very real
interest in them.
One of the older
museums mentioned by
Mrs. 'Owen was the
London Museum - one of
her favourite places,
where she had, as a
schoolgirl, first seen the
vest worn by King
Charles I on the day he
had his head chopped off.
The Museum was moved
at the outbreak of war but
the memories still
remain. One of the most
vivid ones being that of
the Queen's doll's house
which was perfect in
every detail and included
a tiny workbox con-
taining a minute pair of
scissors that actually cut
cloth.
Mrs. Owen talked about
the Natural Hi,Story
Museum in South Ken-
sington and the War
Museum whic,h was of
such interest ,to her after
all the stories her father
had told he about how he
had won the first World
War single-handed,•
although she had since
learn/ed that Canon Paull
of Layfield had actually
helped him. She then told
or visits to the Victoria
and Albert Museum and
of seeing many of George
Bernard Shaw's original
Manuscripts, many Of
which were in shorthand,
in the manuscript room of
the British Museum.
She moved out of the
city of London and told of
various Museums visited
in the New Forest and
other rural areas. She
talked about Salisbury
Cathedral and how it
came to be built, about
Canterbury and the many
well-known spots in that
area.
Mrs. Owen now came to
the main topic of the
night - the Weald and
L)ownland museucnwhich
is quite unique in that a
Mr. Armstrong, in 1967,
got the idea that there
were altogether too many
old buildings being
destroyed and, in some
cases, an entire ar-
chitectural style lost.
No one seemed to care
about these old buildings
which -were-'nor the type
that might baken over
by the N ional Trust
because , they had
belonged/to great people,
but rather shepherds'
cottages, charcoal
burl ers huts and barns
and mills that were no
longer in use and in
;danger of being pulled
down.
They were able to
acquire 40 acres of land
which were given to them
by the Edward James
foundation and set up an
open airs museum. They
bought up and moved a
number of old buildings
which were earmarked
for demolition and
proceeded to reassemble
them in their new
location. In all cases they
tried very hard to rebuild
with either the original
materials or, if these
were too badly damaged,
with material that was so
close to the original that
it is now difficult to tell
the difference.
Mrs. Owen had
prepared a very in-
teresting display showing
these buildings, in sketch
form, and the general
layout of the 'village' in
which they were
assembled. This differs
from our own Upper
Canada Village in that
the buildings do not
necessarily conform to
one particular style and
range all the way from
farm houses with their
barns, to old water mills,
cottages and what we
would refer to as driving
sheds.
The styles range over
several centuries and the
village includes a good
deal showing the arts and
crafts of different eras.
This is purely private
enterprise run by
volunteers and without
any funding other than
what people donate.
After the meeting, Mrs.
Owen was thanked by
Vina Parker and
everyone was asked to
sign a card which was to
be sent to "Friends of the
Museum" society in
England. Refreshments
were served by Doris
Reddoch and her com-
mittee.
15 needlepoint
Jean Dunn and
Charlene Porter taught 15
women needlepoint in
three sessions recently in
the basement of St.
Andrew's United Church.
The women learned five
different stitches and how
to block a sampler. It is
now up to the individual
to make something
For those who are
interested and missed
these free classes, Gayle
King will be holding a
class tonight (April 5) at
7:30 p.m. in Trinity
