ON Tuesday afternoon, November 22, Trafford’s Local Studies Department in Sale gave residents a glimpse of Altrincham’s original charter,written on vellum in 1290.
Nic Rayner, the Conservation Officer for Manchester Local Studies and Archives who spent two months restoring and cleaning it, was there to answer questions.
He also made a replica.
The replica will, eventually, be put on public display at Altrincham Town Hall.
