Creative youngsters have designed a historical banner depicting stories of their local heritage and presented it to the village museum at Castle Combe.

The year three and four pupils from By Brook Valley Primary School in Yatton Keynell put their ideas together to produce the banner for the Castle Combe Museum.

The youngsters worked with textile artist Stuart Shotton to produce the eye-catching designs.

Mr Shotton then turned them into a banner for the school and museum to use to promote public events.

Wiltshire County Council's cabinet member for education, Jane Scott, visited the museum on Sunday to unveil the banner.

She also presented the children with signed copies of Mr Shotton's design.

Museum curator Adrian Bishop also attended the presentation.

The banner was made as part of a series of banner making events organised by Wiltshire County Council museums officer, Anita Pryor, to coincide with Museums and Galleries Month 2003, in May.
