Queensferry History Group participated in this years 'Open Doors' day on Sunday 24th September. In partnership with Queensferry Heritage Trust, hosted by The Masonic Lodge, groups of visitors were given a guided tour around the Old Vennel Cemetery, by members of the History Group. Among the highlighted graves were those of the "Good and the Great" of Queensferry. Philanthropists, Merchants, Ministers, even possible relatives of Witches burned at the stake were on the 'list', many people who have given their names to streets in Queensferry. The cemetery dates from 1635 and was closed in 1900. There was aso an exhibition in the Masonic hall, featuring the history of the Old Vennel Church and its famously cursed bell, the first School in Queensferry and the Cemetery. Meanwhile there was also an interesting rerely seen exhibition of the history of the Masonic Lodge. This was a successful venture all round and may be repeated next year. Thank you to all who helped to make this day successful, whether by volunteering or visiting.
