Here we commemorate Peter Foreman, who peacefully passed away on 31st March 2026. Just two hours before he drew his last breath, he and son Chris were sharing recollections. He is remembered as a larger-than-life character, always forthright, almost always happy, and with an infectious laugh.
Until a few years’ ago, Peter was a long-standing and very active member of the Society. He was Honorary Treasurer for more than 20 years (all predating our online banking), handing over that baton in 2013, and was active on Council before and after.

SPARK! Young Cultural Changemakers are working with the Museum of Chelmsford to help shape the future of the Museum's collection, and are asking everyone one question to help shape its collections policy into the next 50 years:
"If the Museum of Chelmsford could collect just ONE object to show what your life in Chelmsford is like today, what would it be?"
Together, we are Collecting Our Future.
