🏅 A Tale of Two Mayors 🏅
As part of Engage Wilton`s Autumn Festival, the Council Chamber will be hosting two events on Saturday 3rd October.
A Tale of Two Mayors (part 1) will feature a talk by Yvonne Crossley on William Isembard, the first recorded Mayor of Wilton in 1256AD. Find out what happens when the ultimate keeper of the town’s trust turns out to be its biggest thief, and ends up facing the gallows.
The second part will feature coffee, cake and conversation with Wilton’s current Mayor, Chris Harrison, where you can discover through music the person behind the chain of office.
Tickets for both events are free, though donations are welcome. Places are limited. You can book now and find more info on Eventbrite.

🗝 The 5 Locks 🗝
The 15th Century Chest in our possession was fitted with 5 locks.
The Mayor and four Aldermen (now Councillors) of the Borough were each issued an individual key fitting one of the locks on the chest. This was to prevent any of them gaining access without the others being present.
The details of what was kept in the chest has been lost to history over the last 500 years, but it may have been important town documents, monies, or even alcohol!
