Windlesora 27 (2011)

The front cover picture is a detail from a caricature by James Gilray (1757-1815) titled Temperance Enjoying s Frugal Meal (with Queen Charlotte tucking into sauerkraut) which is ridiculing the royal couple’s supposed penny-pinching ways. It was drawn in 1792.

Windsor Guildhall

In October 2010 Windsor Guildhall closed to the public. All the works of art and furniture were removed and put into store. This was in preparation for refurbishment of the whole building and the construction of a new museum that will include specialist display cases, audio visuals and graphics telling the story of Windsor and the Borough, through five themed areas:

  • The Royal Borough and its settlements
  • Military associations
  • Aeronautical Windsor
  • Working Windsor
  • Life and childhood in Windsor

The new museum is scheduled to open in March 2011
