Enjoy a 9 minute (OK, 8 mins 42 seconds) guided taster tour of Vestry House Musem with our Assistant Curator, Gary Heales.

Listen at home if you're not in London or, for the full interactive experience, simply download the file to your phone and start just outside the main door to Vestry House from where Gary will guide you inside, telling you all kinds of fascinating facts about Vestry House's history as the workhouse for Walthamstow. You'll also learn what 'oakum' is and why the Royal Navy was so desperate for it. And finally you can discover how the Bremer car got a number plate decades after it was built.

Recorded & edited by Matt Taylor.


Vestry House Museum: Audio Tour (with Gary Heales)

Here it is! my new bootleg of Queen B's 'Hold Up'. It's one of my favorite tracks from her new album 'Lemonade' so I couldn't resist makning a little remix about it. Enjoy!
