A LEGENDARY car with Herefordshire roots is being celebrated in Bromyard this weekend.

Bromyard & District Local History Society have produced an exhibition celebrating 100 years of Morgan cars.

Founder, Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan, was born in Morton Jeffries in 1861 and led the firm for nearly 50 years.

The first Morgan was built in 1909 and spent much of its time in Stoke Lacy, where the family resided.

The display, which opens this Saturday (June 6) at 2pm, includes early pictures of the family and motoring memorabilia.

The exhibition runs until May 2010. For details and opening times, contact 01885 488755.
