Join us for a festive gander at the origins of our Christmas traditions. How did local  Gloucestershire folk celebrate the Midwinter feast?  Find out about cards, carols, turkeys by post and the earliest written mention of Christmas in the county!
 
What present did Lord Blathwayte not give to Robert Crew in 1926?  Why did the Codrington Family need 28 plum puddings?  What was so memorable about Christmas 1675?  Answers to all these and some Christmassy craft too!
