Maud Heath's Causeway will be 550 years old in 2024. Join us at The Yelde Hall and learn about Maud Heath, the history of the causeway & listen to the song we commissioned for the occasion.

The Yelde Hall has stood in the town since at least the 15th Century, although a building may have been on the site even longer. In its time it has been a guildhall, council chamber, an armoury, a fire station, a jail, a bank, a Tourist Information Centre, as well as a museum, gallery and theatre. The Yelde has seen war, famine, recession and riots, as well as countless joyous occasions.
To celebrate the 550th anniversary of Maud Heath's Causeway Yesterday's Story CIC, along with partners The Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, Chippenham Library and Chippenham Museum, have run talks, worked with writes groups, photography groups, walking groups, held an exhibition and composed a song to explore the lady behind the gift that created the causeway.
Join us to see what the community have learnt about Maud Heath and how she has been viewed throughout history.
