> NEWLY DONATED ITEMS FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT’S PAST GO ON DISPLAY
The latest archaeological finds acquired by Isle of Wight Council’s Museum of Island History are now on display.
Many of the finds, including some that have a very important historical value and are very rare, were donated by those who found them. Amongst the finds are a 13th century silver brooch that was donated by a lady member of the Isle of Wight Metal Detecting Club.
A Bronze Age dagger, a silver spoon and a 16th or 17th century silver toothpick, which was also used as an ear scoop, are also part of the display.
Members of the public can also visit the museum in Newport free of charge for one day only. As a celebration of Adult Learners Week, both the museum and Newport’s Roman Villa will be open for free between 1000 – 1630 on Saturday 15 May.
