Getting the most from Search...

The Search box is at the top-left (or top-right) corner of all pages.

Use it to find topics of your choice, wherever they occur in the Virtual Museum. You may search for names, places, dates - anything!

In addition to single words, this search now recognises phrases (in quotes), which can refine the matches found. Searching "6 High Street" in quotes finds only entries mentioning that address, whilst 6 High Street without quotes finds around 200 entries!

Entering this and that into the search form will return results containing both "this" and "that".

Entering this not that into the search form will return results containing "this" and not "that".

Entering this or that into the search form will return results containing either "this" or "that".

Entering "this and that" (with quotes) into the search form will return results containing the exact phrase "this and that".

Please note that many family names have a variety of spellings, such as Wodham and Woodham, Pearse and Pearce, Clisdel, Clisdale and Clidsdall.

Consider alternative spellings for everything! If you are looking for trades, note that you may find "plumber" often spelt "plummer", or "maltster" spelt "malster" in 18th century documents.

The search is very powerful, but because the Virtual Museum is so large, it can take a few seconds to display results.

You are in [Events] [King Charles III's Coronation]

King Charles III's Coronation took place in Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May 2023. The whole country rejoiced, and towns and villages were decorated to celebrate, glad to be able to gather in large numbers after the three years of Covid pandemic restrictions. Unfortunately, on the day itself, it rained!

In Hungerford, the High Street trees were decorated by individual organisations, and the main celebration took place in The Croft on the Sunday 7th May - when the weather was beautiful. Several street parties also took place.
