Dear residents of Wymondham, I expect you’ll all be familiar with the Bridewell Heritage Museum, the Red Cross shop and the Bridewell Tea Room, all of which form part of the historical building known as the Bridewell.

What you may not know is that there is a small band of volunteers who form the Wymondham Bridewell Preservation Trust Committee (WBPT). This committee presides over the management and upkeep of the building for the benefit of everyone.

The committee meets four times a year to review and manage the maintenance and the trust’s finances, and to preserve the building. The funds are generated from the groups and bodies that lease the parts of the building they occupy, and being a small committee, we are always in need of new willing volunteers who have an interest in safeguarding the Bridewell for the future.

We would welcome any prospective people to come along to this year's WBPT AGM on Thursday 24th April in the upstairs room (above the tea room entrance). Hope to see you there!
