ST BARNABAS Church is hosting a First World War exhibition.

The display, which belongs to Mark Sutton, executive director of The Swindon Heritage Magazine, features items such as a uniform, equipment, photographs and letters from local men including some commemorated on the roll of honour in church.

Mark will be on hand to tell people about the exhibits and said he would be delighted if visitors bring in any family items they might have from wartime.

The event, which runs from July 14 to 20, includes a presentation about Gorse Hill by The Swindon Society on July 15 at 7pm and the week will end with a service of choral evensong at 4pm on the Sunday.
