The Corsham Area Heritage Centre was asked to co-ordinate the contributions being offered by the various organisations who participated in the Corsham Area Board's "jousting tent", erected on Salisbury's Cathedral Close for the visit of Queen Elizabeth on 1 May 2012, marking her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee. The theme was to be "Corsham Area's Heritage". We mounted a new display of images of such things as quarrying, the wool industry, Corsham and the military and Brunel. We've brought it back to Corsham - where it can be seen in our Heritage Room. A lot easier than driving down to Salisbury!
As part of the complete Corsham Area offer, a Hamper was assembled, for presentation to Her Majesty. We ensured that the products of two of the providers of the locally-made goods to our TIC were featured in the Hamper. They were a spectacular crown, made entirely of chocolate by the Corsham company Lick the Spoon and some jars of the scrumptious marmalade by another Corsham company, Annie's Kitchen.
We hope Her Majesty enjoys both of them. You can, too - by dropping into our Centre at Arnold House in the High Street and buying some. But don't expect to find the crown there for sale. Lick the Spoon made only the one of those. However, we have plenty more of that company's other confection on offer. It makes a wonderful treat. Fit for a Queen!
