Housed in a 17th /18th century timber-framed barn and cart shed, the museum tells the story of Woodchurch Parish and the collection has an almost exclusively Woodchurch provenance.
Artefacts range from vehicles to tiny coins and flints, with ages spanning the entire period of Woodchurch's known history from 3,000 BC onwards. The professionally designed gallery places great emphasis on interpretation. We welcome bookings from schools or groups and can provide guides to match group needs, including outreach visits.
The first floor houses a study centre, open by appointment. Its collection of books, periodicals, archives and parish records supports those wishing to research Woodchurch's history or genealogy. All the museum (including the toilets) is wheelchair- accessible, except for the study centre. Special arrangements can be made for those affected by this limitation.
Special exhibitions are periodically staged.
