It was the first of a planned series of concerts which featured music from the piano recently donated to the museum.

Dating from the 1870s the piano accompanied the silent movies at Wymondham's first cinema.

It was given to the museum by the David Townsend, grandson of William Spalding, the cinema's original owner.

The Wymondham Regal Experience donated £300 to restore and retune the piano.

Liz Reed introduced each piece of music with a bit of history.

The £5 ticket included a cream tea with homemade scones served by tearoom volunteers Janice Plunkett and Val Duncan. Money raised will go to the museum's Project 2020.

Further afternoons of music nostalgia at the museum are planned for October and December.
