🎃 Scarecrow Workshop 🎃

Join Wilton Indies, the local independent business owners, for their Scarecrow Workshop next Tuesday at 6pm at Wilton Community Centre.

This half-term (24th to 31st October), local businesses will be displaying scarecrows in their windows and they're inviting you to take part! You can make your own scarecrow to display at home or help make scarecrows for around the town. Then see how many you can spot around Wilton in the run-up to Hallowe'en 👻

⚖️ Why Weight? ⚖️

In our heritage collection, is a set of weights and scales, dating back to the Borough of Wilton in 1807.

But why would a council need a set of scales?

🎂 Happy 341st Birthday! 🎂

Today marks the 341st anniversary of one of Wilton's Town Charters.

King James II presented the Charter to Wilton on 7th October 1685.

Our Charter collection dates back over 900 years. Charters functioned as a "declaration of independence" allowing the ancient Borough of Wilton to act as a self-governing town. It allowed the town to appoint our own Mayor, Bailiffs and Aldermen to govern, granted rights to hold markets and fairs, established courts and gaols, and allowed for the collection of local taxes.

In 1685, Wilton's economy centred on agriculture, local markets, and the developing wool and textile trade, while national events such as the Monmouth Rebellion, an attempt to overthrow James II, would have been closely watched by local landowners, clergy, and officials. Wilton, lying directly on the route into Salisbury, would have seen increased movement of soldiers, messengers, supply wagons and officials during the rebellion, boosting trade in the town.

You can read a translation of this charter, see the other Town Charters, and read more about the history of Wilton, on our website:
