An exhibition in the David Rudkin Room will illustrate the history of Funtington parish in pictures and stories.

Named Funtington Parish in the Past, the display is set to run until Tuesday, April 23.

It will feature photographs and memories compiled by Geoffrey Boys and Alec Peters over a period of about five years – spanning more than a century.

Emsworth Museum, in North Street, will be open for visitors to see the display on Saturdays and Easter Monday from 10.30am to 4.30pm, on Sundays, including Easter Sunday, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm and on St George’s Day, April 23, from 10am to 2pm.

Admission to the museum is free and a stairlift is available.
