Week 5 of 7: The Ultimate* Egham Museum Quiz!

This quiz has been produced by The Egham Museum Trust’s (TEMT) Chairman, Vivian Bairstow, to entertain and challenge you on the history of the local area.

The Egham Museum devotes itself to the history of the ancient parishes of Egham and Thorpe, which corresponds with the former Egham Urban District. In this quiz, we have referred to this area as Area in the questions.

*There is so much more to learn about our area, past residents and their stories. If you fancy exploring the history in other ways, take a look around our website for collection stories, online exhibitions and resources.

A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE (and bragging rights) WILL BE AWARDED TO THE WINNERS WITH THE MOST CORRECT ANSWERS! ??????
