Remembering Terry Howitt who contributed so much to the upkeep of this unique museum and has sadly passed away.
This is an old photo from 1999 where Chairman of the museum Bill Boulter was Mayor of Oadby & Wigston and is pictured at the annual Sock Ceremony with Terry and the Town Crier Joe David.
We thank Terry for helping to make this museum the place it is today.
RIP Terry
