Plaques - Trust Annual Report 1984

A plaque, donated by Jaguar Cars and commemorating the pioneer motorist Major General Hugh Parker Montgomery and the Daimler car he bought in 1897, is now in place on Anglo City House in Southgate Street, the site of the garage where the car was kept. Field Marshal Sir Edwin Bramall, GCB, OBE, MC, Chief of the Defence Staff, performed the unveiling ceremony in May, in the presence of the Mayor and Mayoress of Winchester.

It is hoped that a plaque replacing the existing one in St. Thomas Street to John Lingard, the historian, will be unveiled in September.
