Medieval Seal Making Workshop (Hyde900)
St Bartholomew's Church, King Alfred Place, Hyde, Winchester, Hampshire, SO237DF
In medieval times a seal was a stamped impression in wax or other material, used to authenticate documents. Visitors will have the opportunity of making a seal in this free workshop. It is open to all ages but children must be accompanied by an adult. Warm wax is involved! (Whilst the seal making experience is free, makers can pay a small fee if they wish to take away the seal with an attached certificate authenticating the document)
