Summer programme Museum of the Jewellery Quarter - Provisional

Ask anyone in the city what Birmingham is famous for and jewellery-making will be at the top of the list. With a world-wide reputation for the highest quality precious metals and gemstones, the region has for centuries been the go-to place for those looking for the very best treasures. The Museum of the Jewellery Quarter captures the vital role the industry has played as it shines a spotlight on a perfectly preserved workshop and offers a glimpse of working life in Birmingham’s renowned Jewellery Quarter. When the proprietors of the Smith & Pepper jewellery manufacturing firm retired in 1981 they simply ceased trading and locked the door, unaware they would be leaving a time capsule for future generations. Today, it stands as a remarkable museum, telling the story of the region’s unique heritage.

History & Heritage

Avoncroft Museum of Buildings

Avoncroft Museum opened to the public in 1967 following the rescue and reconstruction of a medieval Town House from Bromsgrove town centre. Its collection has since grown to encompass over 30 historic buildings and structures, dating from the 14th century to the mid-20th century. All of Avoncroft’s buildings and structures were neglected and/or threatened with demolition before being relocated to the Museum’s site. Highlights Historic Buildings: Explore dismantled and rebuilt structures, including the 14th-century Guesten Hall roof from Worcester Cathedral and a post-WWII prefabricated home from Birmingham. The Medieval Town House: The crown jewel of the site. This mid-15th-century merchant’s house was the very first building saved and originally sparked the creation of the museum in 1963. The National Telephone Kiosk Collection: A unique, interactive exhibit housing over 25 historic phone boxes (including the iconic police box/TARDIS). Industrial & Rural Exhibits: Features a working 19th-century windmill, a 100-year-old forge, and an authentic chain-making shop. Grounds & Facilities: The Countryside: The sprawling 19-acre site includes period gardens, a wildflower meadow, and a traditional cider and perry orchard. Date: Wednesday 19th August 2026. Transport: Car sharing. Meet at 9.30am at Conquest Car Park.

Katherine of Aragon: Beyond the Stereotypes

What was life really like for Henry VIII’s six wives? Caroline Willcocks, who has researched and written four successful novels on the Tudor Queens talks about their lives and loves. Was Katherine of Aragon a liar? Was Anne Boleyn a schemer? Did Anne of Cleves smell? Over four talks she discusses these women and the legacy they have left. PLEASE NOTE: this talk will be held at the Local History Centre. Talk one Unveiling the True Character of Henry the Eighth’s First Tudor Queen Explore the extraordinary life of Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII. Too often dismissed as dowdy and overly pious, Katherine’s true legacy is far richer and more nuanced. Was she merely a devout and plain figure, or did her intelligence, political acumen, and beauty shape the course of English history? Discover how Katherine navigated the treacherous world of Tudor politics, championed scholarship for women, and inspired devotion and respect across Europe. This session will challenge prevailing myths and invite you to see Katherine not as a passive victim, but as a clever, resilient, and charismatic queen whose influence is celebrated to this day. Accompanying novel ‘Of Aragon’ by Caroline Willcocks. Caroline has lived in Bromyard for the last six years, with her husband the poet John Pare, a dog and a cat. She has worked in the theatre, freelance journalism and for charities before writing six novels (so far).

This session will delve into the intrigue of Henry VIII’s court, Anne’s pivotal role in England’s religious transformation, and the myths and truths that have shaped her reputation over the centuries. Discover how Anne Boleyn’s brief but impactful life continues to inspire debate: was she an unprincipled schemer, or a martyr for her faith and for women’s agency?
