TREASURED TEXTILE EXHIBITION

SUNDAY AND MONDAY 25 – 26 AUGUST 2013

AT ROSEDALE EAST READING ROOM

Residents and those with Rosedale family connections are being invited to display both old and new hand-worked textiles to raise awareness of the importance of local craft skills and display family mementos and treasures. We are hoping to have two lovely days for the public to admire and be inspired by examples of textile/needlecraft articles old and new, and perhaps with a story to tell, which have either been made here in Rosedale or belong to Rosedale residents.

If you would like to lend us your articles for display, want to give us a hand or want to know more, please get in touch with…

Delicious home-made refreshments will be available throughout the day. We hope you will add your support and pass the word to family, friends & neighbours.

History Visit to York

On Monday 11 June, the Rosedale Art Group and History Society combined for a private tour of Fairfax House and the exhibition of Views Of York – 1610 to the Present Day and which is on until 31 August. The exhibition celebrates the 800th anniversary of the granting of York’s first charter by King John.

The tour of the fascinating Georgian town house, described as the finest of its type in England, was conducted by the Director of the York Civic Trust, Peter Brown, who wove an informative and amusing tale of the history for the building, concluding with the exhibition of pictures of York on loan from the British Museum, British Library, the York Art Gallery and from private individuals.
