Lady Waterford Bicentenery

There was an opportunity to explore Ford Castle on the weekend of the 14th and 15th April, 2018, when Lady Waterford's contribution to the Ford and Etal estate was celebrated.

There were various displays showing the history and development of the castle and a chance to see local metal detecting finds from as long ago as the Roman era. TillVAS also created several information boards reflecting member's research on the school, church and various buildings on the estate. The attendance was very good. Visitors enjoyed walking around the castle and church and listening to a number of short talks.
