This is our tribute to Terry and Deanna, without whose inspired quick thinking and financial help when the school first closed, there would not have been an Old School to host our little museum at all. We like to think they would both have approved of this move into the world of online worldwide access.
The Museum is inside The Old School, founded by Mrs Merrill Rhodes in the 1990s, with unflagging and tremendous support from her husband Peter, and opened first as a Family History Resource Centre. Along with an enthusiastic team of 'Founder Volunteers', so many artefacts were donated for exhibition by local families keen to support it that it quickly became a very good folk museum in its own right, as well as a centre for Family History research. That research carries on, every week, helping visitors locally as well as former Sutton & Wawne families now residing all over the world by email and the internet.	Above, Merrill in 'costume' for one of the museum's 'Victorian Weekends', and with her helpmate husband Peter, showing the restored 'magic lantern' he used for so many fund-raising talks and slideshows. A proud moment receiving Hull's Lord Mayor, Cllr Mary Glew, in 2015, and in full flow giving one of very many famous talks on Sutton and Wawne's long and unique history.

A Brief Walking Tour
An addition to this online version of our DVD
is this inclusion of "our walking tour", a leaflet we produced in 2013
and now revised, for the benefit of occasional visitors to the village who
sought only a brief 'resumé' of our history and most interesting places.
It is offered here as an MS Office download in .doc and .odt format.

The Plan

Good Tip:
We would recommend copying or downloading the whole of this DVD, around 1.55Gb in total, onto your hard drive, or to a memory stick or camera card. It will work much better, quicker, that way, and photo sets especially will load a lot faster. Some of the sections have dozens of photos, and the DVD takes a long while to load them all on many older machines. There are no restrictions or copyright issues in copying this DVD to other storage formats purely for your own use.

If accessing this DVD online via our website, I would recommend downloading it and keeping a backup on a memory stick or camera card. A camera card holds 4Gb of memory space; this DVD is just over 1.5Gb, so a card or stick of that size would be ample to save all of this twice over!

"Own use" in this context includes all schools and educational establishments - copy and use as you wish. Commercial or Social Media use is another matter, and the requisite permissions should be applied for as laid down in English copyright laws. We want you to enjoy and benefit from it's contents in whichever way is best for you.

Please enjoy.
