We love getting reviews like this from schools. Making sure children learn about history in a fun and interactive way is our priority, so hearing that they’ve loved the day and want to come back is amazing! We offer school visits on history and geography subjects at our beautiful medieval site in Bradwell Abbey, but we can also come to you. Check out the sessions we offer via our website and get in touch to discuss what we can do for you https://www.mkcdc.org.uk/education-1 (fb)

We are devastated to share that our much-loved Trustee and volunteer Pete Martin passed away suddenly just over a week ago. Pete had been on the Board at MKCDC for three years and was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable asset in both local heritage and art matters. Having worked for the Milton Keynes Development Corporation as an architect in the early years, he knew much about the development and growth of the New City, and had many tales to tell. He shared his passion for Bradwell Abbey through giving our monthly site tours and was looking forward to conducting more art tours. Our Operations Manager Richard will greatly miss Pete, not only for their long lasting friendship shared for more than 30 years, but also for his unwavering support through a wide range of volunteer activities. Pete’s mischievous spirit and roguish sense of humour often brought lightness and laughter, always in the most positive of ways. His presence, generosity, and character will be sincerely missed and fondly remembered. Our Director Noël will remember him as a cheeky chappie, who was always ready with a smile and wry comment. Our Archivist Catherine will miss his generosity in sharing his knowledge of the city and making her laugh. We send our heartfelt condolences to his family and other friends. Pete will be sorely missed by everyone. (fb)
