      <image:title>Local History Articles - ClassAction by Godalming College - About the Project</image:title>
      <image:caption>During the summer a group of students from Godalming College came to the museum to gain inspiration for performances developed as part of their Performing Arts Diploma. They were charged with creating a piece of solo theatre (10 minutes) that responds 'to their local museum' that will excite and entice visitors into the museum. The resulting pieces are creative and innovative performances that give a different perspective on our collections and Godalming’s history. Posters highlighting each performance are dotted around the museum near objects that inspired the students. We hope that our visitors will watch and enjoy them all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Local History Articles - Percy Woods (1842-1922) - Image: Photograph of Percy Woods, Godalming Museum Collections. Photography by Matthew Gordon.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Percy Woods (1842-1922) was born at Brook House in Hart’s Lane (now called Mint Street), Godalming. His father was Charles John Woods (1811-1868), solicitor, coroner and Godalming’s first Town Clerk, who was himself the son of a local solicitor, Henry Meale Woods (1776-1841). His background, as part of a long-established local family, and with access to deeds in his father’s practice dating back hundred of years, inspired Woods to research the history of Godalming ‘Hundred’ (an area extending to Cranleigh and Haslemere). He was a central part of a network of local historians and antiquarians, one of the campaigners for the town to have a museum. He built up his own collection of documents, and undertook the investigation, and in many cases transcriptions of every relevant document he could find in public repositories and private archives.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Local History Articles - Mary Tofts (1703-1763) - Image: Engraving of Mary Tofts, Godalming Museum Collection</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mary Toft or Tofts (1703-1763), became well-known as the lady who gave birth to rabbits. She was baptized in Godalming on the 21st February 1703, the daughter of John and Jane Denyer. In c.1720 she married Joshua Toft, a journeyman clothier, and had three children, Mary (b?), Anne (1723-23), and James (1724-    ). In 1726 she became the centre of controversy when she deceived and hoaxed doctors into believing she had given birth to rabbits. In August she had a miscarriage but still appeared pregnant. Then on the 27th September 1726 she feigned labour and was delivered of a ‘monster’. John Howard, a Guildford surgeon, was sent for and early in November with Howard in attendance was giving birth to a rabbit a day. After 9 rabbits she was taken to Guildford where Howard could keep a close eye on her. Nathanael St Andre, surgeon and anatomist to King George I was sent for and in his presence Mary gave birth on the 15th November to the 15th rabbit. By now it had reached the press and was the talk of not only Godalming but London. George I sent Cyrius Ahlers, surgeon to the German household, and on the 20th November he delivered a rabbit part from Mary. However he became suspicious and reported to the King the next day that it was all a hoax. George I sent Sir Richard Manningham, physician and midwife to see what was happening, and after the 17th rabbit, he too exposed it as a hoax.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Local History Articles - Witley Camps in the First World War</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Godalming Museum there is a display of broken china, worn toothbrushes and empty inkpots which I find particularly moving. These items were excavated from the site of the First World War army camps on Witley Common and are poignant reminders of the everyday lives of the men who were based there. The commons were given over for military use early in the war. At first accommodation was in tents but by the end of 1914, rows of densely packed wooden huts had been constructed. There was a thriving trade in photographic postcards of the camps, and these, along with articles in the local press give us a good idea of what life was like for the up to 20,000 men based there.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Local History Articles - Witley Camps in the First World War</image:title>
      <image:caption>The three camps (Witley North, Witley South and Milford) had their own water supply, managed from a water tower which provided a vantage point for many of the photographs. There were efficient sewage and waste disposal facilities, and even an electricity supply, at a time when this was still a rarity in local homes. Training was intensive, but regular half days off gave the men opportunities to enjoy the facilities offered in YMCA huts and in “Tin Town” a row of civilian shops alongside the garrison theatre on the Portsmouth Road (now the A3) in the centre of the camps. Among the finds in the museum are a mouth organ and even an ice-hockey puck, a reminder that from 1915 many of the troops based here were Canadian.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Local History Articles - Witley Camps in the First World War</image:title>
      <image:caption>As might be imagined, the camps had quite an impact on local life. In 1917 the Godalming and Farncombe Chamber of Commerce raised funds for a Red Cross ambulance to thank the soldiers for their contribution to the local economy. Friendships and romances were forged and although there was a certain amount of trouble as well, the Rev Collyer of Godalming’s Congregational Church was able to write, “The men who have occupied the camp, for the most part, for the larger part by far, whether they have come from our own northern counties, or our far colonies, have been the kind of fellows we have been glad to meet, glad to have in our homes, glad beyond words for the deep passionate loyalty which has called them in this time of stress to give up everything that to an honourable citizen might be counted worthy, that they might face the hardship and the grim, ghastly conditions of modern warfare, to stand between us and hell.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Local History Articles - Witley Camps in the First World War</image:title>
      <image:caption>A meticulous plan of the camp in 1919, by the Royal Engineers, which is in the museum collection, rather suggests that the army would have liked to hold onto the site at the end of the war. However they had pledged to return the commons and the local community held them to their promise. The huts were removed and the heathland restored. 20 years later the army was back. Godalming Museum, with the National Trust and the Surrey County Archaeological Unit has a National Lottery Heritage funded project to explore the military history of the commons. One result of this is a new, free, illustrated audio tour of part of the site. To access this, download the izi.TRAVEL app on your phone and search 'Witley Camp'. We recommend that you download the tour before you visit as the internet is not great on site.</image:caption>
