2025-03-11 Athelstan Museum Malmsbury

We had the opportunity to visit the Athelstan Museum in Malmsbury, where he is buried. The staff showed us round and we learned a lot about both Athelstan, how to run a museum and indeed how to acquire a Town Hall to house it in. We can't recommend this small but well run and organised museum if you have any interest in Athelstan. The Magazine can also give tips on parking, where to eat and about the Abbey. https://www.athelstanmuseum.org.uk/

2024-06-17 Visit to Magic Antic Swadlingcote

2023-03 March 2023 Tamworth Heritage Magazine becomes independent.

Originally it had been intended that Tamworth Heritage Magazine would be primarily for the Heritage Trust but due to the actions of the THT Chair at the time the decision was taken by the Editorial Team move the magazine to a completely independent status starting with Volume 1 Issue 2. The Magazine has been independent ever since.

2023-01 Jamuary 2023 The first issue of Tamworth Heritage Magazine

Whist the first issue was Jan 2023, work began on the first issue just after the summer 2022. The first issue set the bar with 34 pages in a two column layout.

As Tamworth Heritage Magazine is quarterly we thought long and hard about the seasons for the issues settling on Winter for the first one as January and February are always dark and bleak. This meant the October-December issue would be Autumn.
