Local heritage is one of the running themes for Wymondham’s St George’s Day celebrations on 23 April.

Local historian, Georgette Vale, will assume the persona of Queen Victoria and visit Wymondham Heritage Museum Tearoom at 2pm, to sample their Victoria Sponge.

It will then be a quick change of costume for Georgette, as she gives a presentation at the Market Cross, on the subject of The Great Fire of Wymondham.

The event took place in 1615 and Georgette’s talk will reflect this, as it will begin at 4:15pm.
