Mere Museum's new exhibition,

'An Intriguing Assembly of Rooms'

The long–awaited exhibition about Schools in Mere will be installed during the last weekend in June.  We have received all kinds of material from many people who have been a part of Mere’s schools, in one capacity or another, during many years, and research has produced information about schools that came and went in the past.  We have tried to sort out, and hope to present, a clarification of the history of schools in the 20th century, which changed shape, name and location with confusing frequency.  The headline title of the exhibition is lifted directly from Win Richardson’s delightful account of her arrival as a teacher at Mere Secondary School from Yorkshire in 1955.  Win has cleverly obtained for us a plan of the present Library/Museum/Information point as it was in 1929 when it was a school, and as it still was when she taught there. This has been beautifully clarified and redrawn for us by Colin Anderson.  These are just two of the hundreds of delights that await visitors to the exhibition which opens to the general public on Tuesday July 1st.
