Stalbridge Sold exhibition

Stalbridge History Society presents a NEW exhibition ‘Stalbridge Sold- A town under the hammer’, at Stalbridge Hall from Friday 13th June to Sunday 15th June 2025 We invite you to join us for a trip back to 1918. Our main exhibition illustrates what life was like for Stalbridge residents during a time of turmoil. The stories, photographs and history it contains are taken from our newly published 350 page book, and there will be an opportunity to view and possibly purchase a copy at the exhibition. We have already sold out of two print runs in the last couple of months, so this may be your last chance to acquire a copy! Opening times are: Friday 13th June from 10.00am to 12.30pm, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June from 10.00am to 4.00pm. And for one day only, join us for the ‘Stalbridge Family & Local History Fair’ on Saturday 14th June 2025 in the Community Hall at Stalbridge Hall. This one day event runs at the same time as the main exhibition on Saturday only. Family & local history societies and commercial exhibitors will be in the Community Hall on Saturday for you to come and chat with, ask advice and learn more about researching your family or local area. So do come along and find out what life was like in Stalbridge, over 100 years ago, as the First World War was coming to an end, and when Lord Stalbridge decided to sell the entire town at auction.
