THE history of Hereford's Black and White House Museum was celebrated during an event last weekend.

Colonel John Fox’s Regiment of Foote returned to the city and held a parade complete with colours, musketeers and drums.

Meanwhile, visitors to the 17th century museum had the chance to meet a traditional surgeon who had some of the medical tools of the time on display.

Formerly known as ‘The Old House’, the Black and White House Museum demonstrates what life was like in Hereford during the seventeenth century, using authentically re-created rooms, original furniture and everyday family items.

Housed in an impressive and original Jacobean building that started life in 1621, the museum re-opened in April following a major refurbishment.
