Our own antiques roadshow

Fundraising for the Wells Bells Project is underway as you will know but it is always a struggle.

That is where Lawrences Auctioneers hopes to help. On Thursday 26th November, our specialists will be at St Cuthbert’s Church, the largest parish church in Somerset, for a special valuation day in support of the project.

The idea is simple. Anyone is welcome to bring along an antique, a piece of jewellery, a collectable or simply something they have always wondered about, and have it looked at by the Lawrences team. There is no fixed charge and no need to book. Instead, visitors are invited to make a donation to the Wells Bells Project in return.

You don’t need to be an antiques enthusiast to take part. Sometimes the most interesting discoveries are the things we have lived with for years, the ornament on the mantelpiece, the inherited piece tucked away in a drawer, or the object that has simply always been there. A valuation day is a chance to find out what it is, where it came from and what it might be worth, while helping to keep a much-loved local tradition alive. 

Lawrences Auctioneers is inviting everyone in and around Wells to come along, bring their treasures and be part of it.

Valuation Day: St Cuthbert’s Church, St Cuthberts Street, Wells, Somerset BA5 2AW | Thursday 26th November | 10am-1pm | Valuations for a donation | No booking required.
