Heritage Silkstone meeting ‘All you need is a Feather Duster’
During this three month period members of the Roggins History group, and Heritage Silkstone continued to be active
in projects concerning the Waggonway archaeology, Hoylandswaine church window , preparation for the installation
of the new vicar at Silkstone and Hoylandswaine and the Wonderfully Made exhibition.
This reduced the time that was available for the project. Despite this the volunteers have supervised and assisted
with project building work, undertaken archive research, data compilation and the production of a variety of
interpretative material using the gallery as a base. The project is meeting its Key milestones and achieving its Activity
plan goals.
