SUMMARY:Talk: The Importance and Legacy of Tyndale’s Translation
DESCRIPTION:St Mary’s Church\, Old Amersham \n£5 suggested donation \nIn partnership with the Tyndale Society and St Mary’s Church\, we are marking Tyndale500\, the 500th anniversary of the first New Testament in English. \n500 years ago in 1526 William Tyndale published the first New Testament in English to ever be printed and the first to be translated from the original Greek.  His words and phraseology set a standard which continues today.   The famous Authorised Version owes much to his text\, and readers of Bibles in modern English still owe a great debt to Tyndale.  \nNeil Rees lives in a village near Chesham and works as a technology consultant for the Bible Society. He is Chairman of the Tyndale Society and writes a monthly local history page for the Bucks Free Press. \n  \nPlease make sure you have checked details before ordering tickets. It is necessary for the museum to charge a cancellation fee of £1 to cover credit card and administration costs. \n

SUMMARY:Talk: From Wyclif through Tyndale and beyond: The Reformation in Amersham
DESCRIPTION:St Mary’s Church\, Old Amersham \n£5 suggested donation \nIn partnership with the Tyndale Society and St Mary’s Church\, we are marking Tyndale500\, the 500th anniversary of the first New Testament in English. \nAmersham was very hospitable to Lollardy\, the heretical movement which flowed from the ideas of John Wyclif (d.1384). Lollards stressed the importance of the Bible in English\, but copies were only available in manuscript and their ownership was forbidden.  Despite persecution\, Lollardy persisted in Amersham\, through to the early sixteenth century. In 1526 William Tyndale produced the first printed translation of the New Testament\, which was also the first translation from the original Greek. It proved impossible to control its distribution and it was to change English-speaking religion for ever. \nAndrew Hope grew up in the Weald of Kent\, another area with traditions of Lollardy. He read history at Cambridge\, and has undertaken post-graduate work at the Universities of Leeds and Oxford. He was a founder member of the Tyndale Society and has been editor of ‘Reformation’\, its academic journal. He has published a number of articles on Lollardy and the early Reformation.” \n  \nPlease make sure you have checked details before ordering tickets. It is necessary for the museum to charge a cancellation fee of £1 to cover credit card and administration costs. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Workshop for adults: Exploring Rosaceae - the botanical rose family
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 June 29th \nIn partnership with Wild Amersham\, these 2 workshops for adults offer a relaxed introduction to the concept of a ‘Plant Family’\, by exploring the Rose family\, Rosaceae. This is not a family exclusively of roses – it is also home to a diverse array of other plants. These include many of our domestic fruits (Cherries\, Strawberries\, Apples\, Raspberries)\, as well as garden plants (Potentilla\, Spiraea\, Alchemilla) and wildflowers (Wood Avens\, Agrimony and Tormentil). Both workshops will include a visit to the Museum Garden\, to explore the Rose Family members growing there.  \nUnder the guidance of local botanist Karen van Oostrum\, you will discover why such diverse species are included within the same family. Karen will take you through the key features of plants in Rosaceae\, giving you the opportunity to look carefully at the structures of leaves\, flowers and fruits from a range of species. The two workshops are linked\, and you are encouraged to attend both. However\, each is a standalone session\, so you are also welcome to book them individually. \nYou may wish to bring a notebook and pen. A wildflower guide or hand lens can also be helpful if you have them\, but there is no need to purchase these if you don’t. \nWorkshop 1 includes an introduction to Plant Families and a look at the vegetative and floral features of Rosaceae. \nWorkshop 2 June 29th includes an overview of the various fruit forms (drupes\, hips\, achenes and pomes) of the Rose family\, and we will delve into the historical significance of Rosaceae in our local area. \n  \nWorkshop 1 begins with an introduction to the concept of a plant family. Karen will explain what a plant family is\, how it relates to classification and taxonomy\, and why it is useful. Participants will then explore the vegetative features (leaves and stems) of species within Rosaceae\, with key botanical terms introduced along the way. You will see how these features aid identification\, with plenty of plant material available for close observation and for practising your descriptive skills. \nWe will then move on to the floral features of Rosaceae species. Karen will explain the functions of the main flower parts (sepals\, petals\, stamens and carpels) and the different ways they can be arranged. You will discover how flower structure supports identification\, again using fresh material for careful observation and hands-on practice. \n  \n \n

Karen will then introduce the remarkable diversity of fruit types found within Rosaceae\, including drupes\, hips\, achenes\, pomes and the intriguing strawberry “false fruit”. You will never look at an apple or a raspberry in quite the same way again. There will be plenty of fruits available for careful observation – and for tasting\, once your work is done. We will finish by exploring the historical significance of Rosaceae in our local area. \n  \n \n  \n
