PEOPLE are being invited to explore Bicester’s hidden past in a free walk that was launched to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Bicester Heritage and History Walk takes in historical spots in the town centre, Kings End, Market Square and Garth Park.
It has been organised by Bicester Local History Society as part of English Heritage’s open days programme. The society also hopes to gather public support for a project to create a museum and heritage centre in the town. It aims to launch a campaign later this year.
Peter Chivers, of the history society, said: “The walk is designed to raise awareness of the history and heritage of the town prior to a public campaign to highlight the need for a Museum and Heritage Centre, which will be launched later in the year with the support of Bicester Local History Society and other interested bodies.”
The two-hour walk is on Sunday, September 9, starting at Bicester Library. Numbers are restricted – to book email peter.chivers@ntlworld.com or call 01869 600109.
