THE EARLY HISTORY OF WALTHAM told in posters
by Tony Kippenberger
Bishop’s Waltham’s long history is showcased in a unique series of outdoor storyboards.
The 10,000 year timeline covers the Stone Age to the destruction of the Bishop’s Palace during the Civil War, and as a public exhibition it delivers a fascinating picture of the small market town in bite-sized portions.
You can buy your own copy of all the posters of The Early History of Bishops Waltham for £5 at Sweet Corner, Studio 4, and the Museum as well as at our monthly meetings at the Catholic Church Hall in Martin Street.
