Rolls100 – Commemorating 100 years of the death of Rt. Hon. Charles S. Rolls

Monmouth’s town museum will be staging a special exhibition to mark the centenary of Charles Rolls’ death. Based upon the extensive collection of Rolls family material in the museum, the exhibition of photographs, memorabilia and documents will run from late January 2010 until the end of July 2010.

As well as dealing with Charles Rolls’ life, achievements and legacy, the exhibition will also look at his family and their involvement with the history of Monmouth.

Thanks to generous funding from Rolls-Royce plc, the museum is planning a programme of formal and informal learning activities from September 2009, using the Rolls story as the launch-pad to pursue historical, technological and skills-based themes
