The Luttrell Psalter- written and illuminated in England in middle of 14th Century – is famed as a source of pictorial information about everyday life in the Middle Ages.

We will provide tea and coffee and you can bring a lunch or buy one in the town. Cost per person is £30 and seating is limited – we only have a few slots open. Email info@ryemusuem.co.uk or call the office (01797 226 728 – leave a message out of hours) to book a place.
