The Vindication of Christmas Exhibition

On November 20th 2022, CRAY worked with British Museum archaeologist and illustrator Kate Morton to develop our Vindication of Christmas exhibition.  The exhibition was launched at our main public event at Hall Place on December 9th, 2022 and then transferred to Crayford Library on the 15th of December 2022.  It was then transferred to Bexley Local Studies and Archives (BLSA) in Bexleyheath by our team of CRAY volunteers recruited from Wilmington Grammar School for Girls.  It will remain at BLSA until Christmas 2023.

The exhibition was written by volunteers from CRAY including Mary, Megan, Ruby, Lotte, Jess, Jessie, Ella, Rakhmat, and Rachel.  The group developed their text at a session at Crayford Library with Illustrator Kate Morton and local historian Peter Daniel.  You can see each panel broken into sections here.
