SUMMARY:Guided Tudor Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join a guided Tudor Walk to learn about life – and death – in 16th century Amersham \n\nFood and drink\nMarkets and fairs\nBuildings and burgage plots\nClothing and work\nHealth and cures\nReligious beliefs and the Lollard martyrs\n\nThese walks are led by guides in Tudor costume and start from the museum at 2.30pm on the last Saturday in each month (April to September).  \nThe walk visits the church (weddings permitting!) then leaves the town and follows field paths. It includes a steady climb\, which is taken slowly. Baby buggies have successfully managed the route and we did once get a mobility buggy up the hill! Be warned\, if you pay for parking\, that the walk usually lasts about 2¼ hours. It is possible to take a short cut near the end\, which saves perhaps 15 minutes (most people don’t). \nWe strongly recommending booking your tickets in advance to guarantee your place on our walks. While we will do our best to accommodate people on the day\, places are subject to availability. \nNotes\nIf you would like to visit the museum on the same day as your walk\, this is possible from 11:30am before the walk starts\, but there is not time after the walk finishes. \nIf you have queries about accessibility or routes\, please get in touch and we would be happy to provide you with detailed information. \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.

SUMMARY:Workshop for adults: Exploring Rosaceae - the botanical rose family
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 May 16th \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. \n  \nWorkshop 1 May 16th includes an introduction to Plant Families and a look at the vegetative and floral features of Rosaceae. \nWorkshop 2 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 2 begins by examining how fruits develop from flowers. 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
