The Fox Talbot Museum is closed this week 16-22 Sept for the annual deep clean. You can still go upstairs for the @The_RPS International Photography Exhibition. Have you visited yet?

Who goes there? We have a new spotter sheet to borrow in the abbey to help you do some treasure hunting. How many faces can you find peering back at you from the collection?
