Historical landmarks of a Ribble Valley village are being celebrated in a ceramic exhibition at Whalley Library.

Local ceramic artist Erica Renzi, of ER Ceramics, in partnership with Whalley Local History Group's Jean Lord, has created five stoneware birdhouses representing historical landmarks of Whalley, including Whalley Abbey.

Each birdhouse is accompanied by an information display about the history of the landmark. There is also a special element on each one, such as the famous ‘hidden priest’ during the time of the dissolution of Whalley Abbey, memories from World War One and other local artists.

There is also a display of five ceramic birds on branches. Visitors are invited to join together the interesting facts, history and some tricks to identify the local birds and see the detail of each house, which put a spotlight on the rich history of this small village.

The exhibition, entitled ‘Historical Houses in Whalley,’ which has been on display for a week at the library, will return on Monday, September 14, for a week, and then on Monday, October 5, until Saturday, October 17.
