In the summer of 1979 Elvetham Park was the setting for a production of the Lincoln Cycle of Mystery Plays – the mediaeval religious plays which span the whole of human life from the Creation to Doomsday. This summer, 37 years later, an exhibition of this event will be on display throughout August and September in the Heritage Zone, Fleet Library. Photographs and memorabilia previously unseen by the general public will be on display.
See the poster..
I have just come across this entry and am so sad that I missed the exhibition, as both my husband and I were in the Elvetham Mysteries. Is there any chance that the exhibition will be repeated at some time?
I have just come across this post, also. Both my husband and I were at the presentation in 1979. Are there any video recordings of it? Will it ever be done again? Carol and Chuck Butler
I don’t remember anyone making a video but I have loads of photos of rehearsals and performances if you’d like to see them. You can contact me through my website (CounsellingNearBrighton)
I would love to find out more about this. Sounds fascinating!!
Hi. I grew up in Fleet and was there for The Elvetham Mysteries. My dad was friends with the then owner of Elvetham Hall. I have a Commemorative Goblet with a certificate numbered 177 out of 350 issued to commemorate the performance. I would be happy to donate it to the Exhibition which sounds like where it ought to belong. I live in Southampton but could bring it to Fleet URC Church ?
