Explore the remarkable sewing skills in an exquisite outfit with deep roots in Marton’s history!

Join us to examine the sophisticated drawn thread embroidery on a linen blouse and skirt ensemble once owned by Jane Elizabeth Beckett (formerly Bett).

Trish Nugent-Lyne will present the fashion talk in the museum, offering an in-depth exploration of the garment’s design, making, and the fascinating Marton connection.

No need to book. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated.
