Heavy Fines for too Much Tippling and Elephants at the Angel
In 1620 half an hour was all the time allowed for a drinking session in Godalmings' public houses and habitual visitors to these "tippling houses" could be heavily fined. In 1876 two elephants, gifts to the Prince of Wales on his tour to India, were lodged overnight at the Angel in the High Street during their march from Portsmouth to London.
Facts like these have been revealed by local historian, John Janaway, who is staging an exhibition 'Pubs, Breweries and Bottles' at the Museum, which traces the histories of over 80 pubs and 14 breweries recorded in his latest book, 'Godalming and Farncombe Pubs and Breweries'. The book is on sale at the Museum.

Work and Wealth from the River Wey
Visitors will be invited to participate when the River Wey is featured in this exhibition at the Museum. Adults will be asked to share their memories and take part in a quiz, whilst children can follow the duck trail or seek the sack of gold which, legend says, was flung into the river one Winters night.
The theme of the exhibition is prosperity, pleasure and profit, based on a collection of 19th century photographs published in Ron Heads' books 'Godalming in Old Picture Postcards', supplemented by a display of traditional 'bargeware'.
