Fancy Bazaar recently held in the Townhall, Hadleigh, Suffolk, in aid of the Restoration... 1858. Creator: Unknown
Fancy Bazaar recently held in the Townhall, Hadleigh, Suffolk, in aid of the Restoration of the Interior of Hadleigh Church, 1858. The inhabitants of the place have lately been awakened to a sense of the value and beauty of the legacy which the piety and munificence of them forefathers have bequeathed to them. The exterior of their venerable church has already been restored, at the cost of upwards of £1100, raised altogether in voluntary contributions; and now a general desire is arising to render the interior worthy of the outside...With the view of commencing a fund for this desirable object the ladies of Hadleigh agreed a few months ago to have a bazaar; and on the 6th and 7th of October the work which they had accumulated was offered for sale in the new Townhall. The display was really very beautiful, and showed, to the amazement of most of the visitors, how great had been the zeal, liberality, and industry of the ladies...1000 persons visited the Bazaar on the first day; and on the second from 150 to 200 more were attracted to the spot...at the close of the Bazaar it was ascertained that the toil and anxieties of the ladies had been rewarded by gross receipts amounting to nearly £350'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the Fancy Bazaar held in the Townhall of Hadleigh, Suffolk, in 1858. The event was organized by the local ladies to raise funds for the restoration of the interior of Hadleigh Church, which had already seen the exterior restored at a cost of over £1100. The success of the bazaar was a testament to the community's newfound appreciation for the historical and aesthetic value of their heritage. The ladies had worked tirelessly to accumulate an impressive display of goods for sale, which included a wide variety of handmade items, antiques, and works of art. The photograph shows visitors examining the wares with great interest, reflecting the excitement and anticipation that filled the Townhall. The first day of the bazaar attracted an astonishing 1000 visitors, and on the second day, an additional 150 to 200 people were drawn to the scene. The hard work and dedication of the ladies paid off, as the bazaar grossed nearly £350 by the time it came to a close.
