Morfitt display at Treasure House
Wed 25th March 2015
A new mini display focusing on William Morfitt, antiquarian archaeologist, has now opened at Beverley’s Treasure House.
The display focuses on Morfitt’s museum at Atwick, which housed the many prehistoric and later artefacts that he discovered in the Holderness area.
The display has been created by Harriette Copley of Longcroft School as part of her work experience placement.
Dr David Marchant, East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Museums Registrar, said: “Morfitt was an enthusiastic and prolific collector of local antiquities and his museum was much visited and highly regarded at the time.”
The display will run until October 2015. For further information, please contact the Treasure House on 01482 392780.
