2018 saw the handover of the High Steward role, Lady Elizabeth Godsal retiring
after 26 years of service to the Town. High Steward is an honorary title bestowed
by the councils or charter trustees of certain towns and cities in England. The
original High Steward of Wokingham was Sir Henry Neville, who was Lady
Elizabeth’s nine times Great Grandfather. Lady Elizabeth’s daughter, Lucy Zeal l
succeeded her mother and they have jointly written a letter for the capsule.

AA Contents of Capsule
This is a list of the objects included together with a description of their purpose
and/or reason for inclusion.

Collecting and packaging all of the above was a time consuming task but at the same time
very rewarding.

8 Event

A special event was held at Wokingham Town Hall to place the objects into the time capsule.
This included school children placing the letters that they had written into the capsule. The
event was also attended by members of the Town and Borough Councils and the
Wokingham Society.
The picture below shows Peter Must, Wokingham Society Chairman, placing a copy of the
Wokingham Society Blue Plaque Trail guide into the capsule.
